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) metre. The unit of measurement called an atmosphere or a standard atmosphere (atm) is . This value is often used as a reference pressure and specified as such in some national and international standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 2787 (pneumatic tools and compressors), ISO 2533 (aerospace) and ISO 5024 (petroleum). In contrast, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends the use of 100 kPa as a standard pressure when reporting the properties of substances.
