What does 1 Standard atmosphere represent?

One Standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, roughly equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

What is ksi used for?

ksi is a non-SI unit used in engineering to express stress or strength values, such as for structural steels and alloys.

Why convert atm to ksi?

Converting from atm to ksi allows pressure measurements from physical chemistry or environmental sources to be translated into stress units used in engineering design.
