Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2], or Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to Standard atmosphere.
How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
1 atm = 0.0103322745279989 kgf/mm^2
Example: convert 15 atm to kgf/mm^2:
15 atm = 15 × 0.0103322745279989 kgf/mm^2 = 0.154984117919983 kgf/mm^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.
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).
