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.
Megapascal
The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The megapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring high pressures, especially in engineering and scientific applications, replacing larger units like the bar in many contexts.
Current Use
The MPa is widely used today in engineering, material science, and industrial applications to specify pressures in fields such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and structural engineering.
