Convert Standard atmosphere to newton/square millimeter
Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to newton/square millimeter [N/mm^2], or Convert newton/square millimeter to Standard atmosphere.
How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Newton/square Millimeter
1 atm = 0.101325 N/mm^2
Example: convert 15 atm to N/mm^2:
15 atm = 15 × 0.101325 N/mm^2 = 1.519875 N/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.
Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
