What is atmosphere technical [at] used for?

Atmosphere technical [at] is a legacy pressure unit used historically in engineering and industrial specifications, especially in older European technical documents such as boilers and hydraulic systems.

Why convert atmosphere technical [at] to ton-force (long)/square inch?

Converting between these units helps translate legacy European metric pressure values to British Imperial units commonly found in historical industrial and engineering documentation, aiding in updating or comparing older designs.

Are these units still used in modern engineering?

No, both atmosphere technical [at] and ton-force (long)/square inch are legacy units. Modern engineering prefers SI units like Pascal or MPa for accurate and standardized pressure measurements.
