Convert Standard atmosphere to newton/square meter

Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to newton/square meter [N/m^2], or Convert newton/square meter to Standard atmosphere.




How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Newton/square Meter

1 atm = 101325 N/m^2

Example: convert 15 atm to N/m^2:
15 atm = 15 × 101325 N/m^2 = 1519875 N/m^2

Standard Atmosphere

The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

History/Origin

The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.

Current Use

The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.


Newton/square Meter

The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.

History/Origin

The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.

Current Use

N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
