Units of Pressure
Units of Pressure
(OP)
I have encountered a unit of pressure labeled 'ata'. I was inclined to think this was atmospheres absolute but the numbers do not seem to work out. Any input would be appreciated.

RE: Units of Pressure
1 bar = 1 N/m2 = 1.0197 kp/cm2
1 kp = 1kg-force
mayby this helps

RE: Units of Pressure
To hahor,
From your own correlations, since one standard atmosphere ≈ 1.01325 bar, it follows that 1 standard atmosphere ≠ 1 kgf/cm2
but is ≈ 1.033 kgf/cm2
kgf = 1 kg-force.

RE: Units of Pressure
please do do confuse standard atmospheric pressussure
and [at] "Technische Atmosphäre"
1 at = 1 kp/cm2 per definition
There is another pressure unit [atm] "Standardatmosphäre" which is equal to 101325 Pa
for further identification [at] can be extended as [ata] Technische Absolut Atmosphäre or [atü] Technische Überdruck Atmosphäre.
I know this might be confusing, but this is all due to history.
Kind Regards,
hahor
RE: Units of Pressure
The technical atmosphere = 1 kgf/cm2 is not in frequent use. If not otherwise indicated, at present, 1 atmosphere is considered a standard atmosphere per the SI (International System of Units), equal to 1.013250*E+05 Pa.
