Unit Information

Atmosphere (atm)

Definition

The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to 101,325 Pa. It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity.

Current Use

The atmosphere is used in chemistry, physics, and meteorology as a reference point for standard conditions of pressure.

Megapascal (MPa)

Definition

The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.

Current Use

The megapascal is commonly used in engineering and materials science to measure high pressures, such as structural stresses or the strength of materials like concrete and steel.
