Convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to atmosphere technical
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. cm [kgf/cm^2] to atmosphere technical [at], or Convert atmosphere technical to kilogram-force/sq. cm.
1 kgf/cm^2 = 1 at. To convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to atmosphere technical, multiply the value by 1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 at = 1 kgf/cm^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kgf/cm^2 = 1 at
- 1 at = 1 kgf/cm^2
- 10 kgf/cm^2 = 10 at
- 100 kgf/cm^2 = 100 at
How to Convert Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm to Atmosphere Technical
1 kgf/cm^2 = 1 at
Example: convert 15 kgf/cm^2 to at:
15 kgf/cm^2 = 15 × 1 at = 15 at

Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gravitational force on a kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Pascal. It was particularly prevalent in countries using the metric system for pressure measurements.
Current Use
Although largely replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts, kgf/cm² is still used in some industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and engineering to express pressure, especially in regions or applications where traditional units persist.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilogram-force/sq. cm in atmosphere technical?
1 kilogram-force/sq. cm (kgf/cm^2) = 1 atmosphere technical (at).
How do you convert kilogram-force/sq. cm to atmosphere technical?
Multiply the kilogram-force/sq. cm value by 1. For example, 25 kgf/cm^2 × 1 = 25 at.
What is 10 kilogram-force/sq. cm in atmosphere technical?
10 kgf/cm^2 = 10 at.
Which unit is larger, the kilogram-force/sq. cm or the atmosphere technical?
The atmosphere technical is the larger unit: 1 kgf/cm^2 equals only 1 at.
