What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate pressure measurements from millimeter water (4°C), a unit for very small pressures, into atmosphere technical [at], a non-SI unit historically used in engineering and industrial fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in millimeter water (4°C)
-
Select 'millimeter water (4°C)' as the source unit
-
Choose 'atmosphere technical [at]' as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the pressure in atmosphere technical [at]
Key Features
-
Converts low-pressure values from millimeter water (4°C) to atmosphere technical [at]
-
Ideal for interpreting legacy pressure data and equipment specifications
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
10 millimeter water (4°C) converts to 0.000999972 atmosphere technical [at]
-
500 millimeter water (4°C) converts to 0.0499986 atmosphere technical [at]
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring very low pressures in HVAC systems and cleanroom differentials
-
Calibrating low-range pressure sensors and conducting laboratory experiments
-
Converting legacy pressure readings in boiler, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input pressures are within the low range suitable for millimeter water (4°C)
-
Use the conversion for historical data or legacy equipment compatibility
-
Verify unit acceptance when applying conversions in modern scientific contexts
Limitations
-
Atmosphere technical [at] is not an SI unit and may not be recognized in current scientific standards
-
Millimeter water (4°C) is only appropriate for very small pressures; large values may not be reliable with this unit
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does millimeter water (4°C) represent?
-
It represents the hydrostatic pressure from a 1 mm column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, used for very small pressure measurements.
-
Why convert to atmosphere technical [at]?
-
Because it is a non-SI unit used in historical engineering and industrial contexts, useful for interpreting older specifications and equipment data.
-
Can this conversion be used for high pressures?
-
No, millimeter water (4°C) is intended for very low pressures and may not be suitable or precise for large pressure values.
Key Terminology
-
Millimeter water (4°C)
-
A pressure unit representing the hydrostatic pressure from a 1 mm column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity.
-
Atmosphere technical [at]
-
A non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, used historically in engineering contexts.
