Atmosphere (unit) for the purposes of specifying the physical properties of substances, “"standard pressure"” should be precisely . A pressure of 1 atm can also be stated as: Scuba divers and others use the word "atmosphere" and "atm" in relation to pressures that are relative to mean atmospheric pressure at sea level (1.013 bar). For example, a partial pressure of oxygen is calibrated typically using air at sea level, so is expressed in units of atm. The old European unit technical atmosphere (at) is equal to 1 kilogram-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm), Pa. Atmosphere (unit) The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a
Pascal (unit) fields, the kilopascal (1000 pascals) is used instead. Pascal (unit) The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square metre. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa) which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa) which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as . Meteorological reports typically
