What are Inch and Atmosphere

An inch (in) is a unit of length in the Imperial and United States Customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot and is further divided into 12 divisions, each called a line. The inch has been standardized to exactly 25.4 millimeters in the International System of Units (SI).

The atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals. It represents the mean sea level atmospheric pressure on Earth. The atmosphere is used as a reference pressure for gauges and in various scientific contexts. One atmosphere is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 760-millimeter column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius.

History of Inch and Atmosphere

A brief history of the Inch Mercury to Standard Atmosphere Converter reveals its origins in meteorology and aviation. These fields required precise atmospheric pressure measurement for accurate weather forecasting and altimeter calibration, leading to the widespread adoption of the inHg to atm conversion at a standard temperature of 60°F.
