What Is This Tool?
This online unit converter helps transform pressure measurements from newton/square centimeter, a non-SI derived unit based on force over an area of one square centimeter, to atmosphere technical [at], a historical pressure unit equal to one kilogram-force per square centimetre.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in newton/square centimeter into the input field
-
Select the source unit as newton/square centimeter
-
Choose atmosphere technical [at] as the target unit
-
Click convert to display the equivalent pressure in atmosphere technical [at]
Key Features
-
Accurately converts between newton/square centimeter and atmosphere technical [at] pressure units
-
Provides definitions and contextual use cases for both units
-
Supports pressure conversions used in engineering, testing, and industrial applications
Examples
-
5 Newton/square centimeter converts to approximately 0.5098581065 Atmosphere technical [at]
-
10 Newton/square centimeter equals about 1.019716213 Atmosphere technical [at]
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting legacy engineering and industrial pressure values from older documentation
-
Relating measurements in mechanical engineering and materials testing for small specimens
-
Comparing pressure ratings for hydraulic or pneumatic components specified in different units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the unit context especially when working with historical or legacy pressure specifications
-
Use the converter to bridge older unit standards with modern SI-derived measurements
-
Verify unit labels carefully to avoid confusion between non-SI pressure units
Limitations
-
Both newton/square centimeter and atmosphere technical units are non-SI and less common in current international standards
-
Minor discrepancies may occur due to slightly different conversion factors compared to standard atmospheres
-
Use caution to ensure the unit is appropriate for the intended engineering or scientific context
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is newton/square centimeter used for?
-
It is used for expressing stress or pressure in materials testing and mechanical engineering, especially on small specimens or areas measured in square centimeters.
-
Where is atmosphere technical [at] commonly applied?
-
Atmosphere technical is used mainly in historical engineering and industrial settings, notably for legacy equipment pressure ratings in boilers, hydraulics, and pneumatic systems.
-
Why convert between these two units?
-
Converting helps relate modern SI-based pressure readings to older unit standards, allowing accurate interpretation and comparison with legacy data.
Key Terminology
-
Newton/square centimeter
-
A pressure unit equal to one newton applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.
-
Atmosphere technical [at]
-
A non-SI unit of pressure defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, approximately equal to 98,066.5 pascals.
