What does one poundal/square foot represent?

It is a pressure unit defined as one poundal of force applied over one square foot of area, part of the foot–pound–second system.

How is technical atmosphere defined?

Technical atmosphere (at) is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, equal to 98,066.5 pascals.

Why convert poundal/square foot to technical atmosphere?

This conversion helps interpret legacy FPS pressure data in terms aligned with older industrial and engineering standards.

Is technical atmosphere the same as the standard atmosphere?

No, the technical atmosphere differs slightly from the standard atmosphere and should be considered separately in precise calculations.
