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.
Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
