How to Convert Atmosphere Technical to Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
1 at = 0.01 kgf/mm^2
Example: convert 15 at to kgf/mm^2:
15 at = 15 × 0.01 kgf/mm^2 = 0.15 kgf/mm^2

Atmosphere Technical
The atmosphere technical (at) is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The atmosphere technical was established as a standard unit of pressure in the early 20th century to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving atmospheric pressure, aligning with the international standard atmosphere (ISA).
Current Use
It is primarily used in scientific, meteorological, and engineering contexts to quantify atmospheric pressure, especially in fields requiring standardized pressure measurements at sea level.
Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
