What is atmosphere technical (at)?

Atmosphere technical (at) is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, used mainly in historical engineering and industrial pressure measurements.

Why convert atmosphere technical to torr?

Converting atmosphere technical to torr helps translate legacy pressure measurements for use in vacuum technology, scientific research, and semiconductor manufacturing where torr is commonly used.

Are there any accuracy issues with this conversion?

Since atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit slightly different from the standard atmosphere, conversions may result in minor discrepancies especially when high precision is required.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the context of legacy measurements before converting to ensure appropriate unit use.
Use this tool for approximate conversions when working with historical data.
Consider the limitations of non-SI units when precision is critical.
For low pressure and vacuum applications, torr is a suitable unit choice.
Avoid using torr for very high pressures due to large resulting values.

Limitations

Atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit slightly different from the standard atmosphere, which may introduce minor inaccuracies.
Torr is best suited for measuring low pressures; using it for very high pressures can lead to impractical large numbers.
