What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps translate pressure values between ksi, a common engineering stress unit, and atmosphere technical, a legacy pressure unit used in older industrial specifications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in ksi you want to convert
-
Select atmosphere technical (at) as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the corresponding pressure in atmosphere technical
Key Features
-
Converts pressure from ksi (kilopound per square inch) to atmosphere technical (at)
-
Supports engineering and legacy pressure unit translation
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
Examples
-
2 ksi equals approximately 140.61 at
-
0.5 ksi equals approximately 35.15 at
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying yield and tensile strengths of structural steels and alloys
-
Design and stress calculations in mechanical and civil engineering
-
Interpreting legacy pressure values in older industrial documents
-
Comparing modern engineering stress with historical pressure units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to convert modern stress values to legacy pressure units for historical analysis
-
Verify unit consistency when working with both SI and non-SI pressure units
-
Apply conversions carefully in maintenance and operations involving older equipment specifications
Limitations
-
Technical atmosphere is a non-SI unit that can cause confusion if mixed with standard atmospheres or pascals
-
Conversion precision may vary due to rounding of values
-
Primarily useful for legacy data; modern practices typically use SI units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ksi stand for?
-
Ksi stands for kilopound per square inch, a unit of pressure or engineering stress equal to 1,000 pounds-force per square inch.
-
What is the atmosphere technical unit?
-
Atmosphere technical (at) is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, commonly used in older industrial and engineering contexts.
-
Why convert ksi to atmosphere technical?
-
Converting ksi to atmosphere technical is useful for translating modern engineering stress values into legacy units found in historical technical literature and equipment specifications.
