What is the kilogram-force per square millimeter unit used for?

It is a non-SI pressure unit used for reporting tensile or yield strength in metals and alloys, specifying contact stresses in mechanical components, and appearing in older technical literature.

How does the atmosphere technical [at] differ from the standard atmosphere?

The atmosphere technical is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre and is approximately 0.96784 times the standard atmosphere.

Why do we need to convert between these two units?

Conversion helps interpret and compare legacy pressure data from older engineering documents that use differing non-SI gravitational pressure units.

Reporting tensile or yield strength of metals and alloys in older materials testing charts
Specifying stresses in mechanical parts like fasteners and bearings from legacy data
Interpreting technical literature where non-SI gravitational pressure units are used
Converting older industrial pressure values to compare with modern SI units
Maintaining historical industrial equipment that uses pressure ratings in technical atmospheres

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the units used in your source documents to ensure correct conversion
Use this converter primarily for interpreting older or historical data rather than precise modern standards
Remember that the atmosphere technical unit differs slightly from the standard atmosphere
Cross-check results when accurate engineering calculations require SI units like pascals
Be aware that both units are gravitational and rely on standard gravity assumptions

Limitations

Both units are non-SI and based on gravitational force, subject to standard gravity conditions
Atmosphere technical differs slightly from the standard atmosphere, affecting precise comparisons
Primarily relevant for legacy documentation rather than current industry standards
Conversions assume conventional unit definitions; variations in standard gravity can affect accuracy
