What is a Standard atmosphere (atm)?

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

What does Newton per square meter (N/m²) represent?

Newton per square meter is the SI unit of pressure, equivalent to one pascal, measuring force applied per unit area.

Why convert from atm to Newton per square meter?

Converting to N/m² ensures pressure values are expressed in the SI unit system, enabling consistency and precision in scientific and engineering tasks.

Key Features

Converts pressure values from Standard atmosphere (atm) to Newton per square meter (N/m²) precisely.
Based on a fixed conversion rate where 1 atm equals 101325 N/m².
Supports applications in chemistry, engineering, diving, atmospheric science, and HVAC design.

Examples

2 atm converts to 2 × 101325 N/m² = 202650 N/m².
0.5 atm converts to 0.5 × 101325 N/m² = 50662.5 N/m².

Common Use Cases

Converting laboratory gas and vacuum pressures for physical chemistry experiments.
Expressing ambient and depth-related pressure in diving and engineering contexts.
Reporting atmospheric pressure and material stress in scientific, engineering, and industrial environments.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion to maintain consistent pressure units across scientific and engineering calculations.
Be aware that the standard atmosphere is a fixed reference and may not reflect local pressure variations.
Apply the converted values carefully when high precision is required, especially in practical systems.

Limitations

The standard atmosphere is a fixed unit and does not account for local atmospheric changes.
Conversions should consider system-specific precision needs and potential rounding differences.
The converter does not capture variations beyond the fixed conversion rate.
