What is a Standard atmosphere (atm)?

A Standard atmosphere (atm) is a pressure unit defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

What does kilogram-force per square millimeter measure?

Kilogram-force per square millimeter measures pressure or stress based on a kilogram-force applied over one square millimeter area; it is a non-SI gravitational unit.

Why convert from atm to kgf/mm²?

Conversion from atm to kgf/mm² helps translate atmospheric pressure measurements into units used in engineering and materials science for assessing strength and stress.
