What is a Standard atmosphere (atm)?

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

Why convert from atm to ton-force (long)/square foot?

Conversion helps translate general atmospheric pressure into imperial units commonly used in historical engineering and industrial applications.

Is ton-force (long)/square foot an SI unit?

No, it is an imperial pressure unit used mainly in older engineering contexts and not part of the modern SI system.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the input pressure value is in Standard atmosphere (atm) for accurate conversion
Use this conversion for typical engineering and industrial contexts where imperial units are still in use
Refer to the example values to verify correct operation of the conversion tool
Be mindful that pressure values can vary with altitude and local conditions
Use converted results for approximate analysis rather than ultra-precise scientific calculations

Limitations

The standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 Pa, which approximates sea-level pressure and may fluctuate
Ton-force (long)/square foot is not commonly used in the modern SI system, limiting direct applicability
Conversion depends on rounding, making it unsuitable for very high-precision needs
Different environmental conditions may affect the relevance of the standard atmosphere definition
