Common Use Cases
-
Specifying material strength and mechanical properties such as tensile strength
-
Expressing compressive strength of concrete and structural materials
-
Converting pressure values for hydraulic system testing
-
Interpreting older engineering and industrial pressure specifications
-
Comparing legacy pressure ratings in kgf/cm² with modern units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify that units are clearly specified to avoid confusion
-
Use the tool to compare legacy and modern pressure data accurately
-
Check the conversion results especially when safety and compliance are critical
-
Remember that atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit used mainly in historical contexts
Limitations
-
Atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit largely superseded by pascals today
-
Conversions mainly apply to interpreting older technical and industrial documents
-
The unit does not exactly match the standard atmosphere causing possible confusion
-
Precision is important as small errors can affect safety and regulatory compliance
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a megapascal (MPa)?
-
A megapascal is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals used to measure pressure and mechanical stress in engineering.
-
What does atmosphere technical (at) represent?
-
Atmosphere technical is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, traditionally used in older industrial contexts.
-
Why convert from MPa to atmosphere technical?
-
Converting helps interpret and compare pressure values between modern SI units and historical legacy standards in engineering.
