What is a Standard atmosphere (atm)?

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

Why use Newton per square centimeter for pressure?

Newton per square centimeter is useful for expressing pressure or stress on small specimens, especially in mechanical engineering and materials testing where areas are measured in centimeters squared.

Can this conversion tool be used for real-time atmospheric data?

This tool uses the fixed standard atmosphere value, which may not capture real-time atmospheric pressure changes.
