What is atmosphere technical [at] used for?

It is a historical pressure unit used in older engineering and industrial applications, defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre.

Why convert atmosphere technical [at] to poundal per square foot?

This conversion helps reinterpret legacy pressure data in the FPS system, useful in classical mechanics studies and legacy equipment analysis.

Is poundal per square foot a common unit for high pressures?

No, it is typically used for low pressure values; high pressures result in large numeric values that can be impractical.
