Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure expressed as the force in kilograms exerted on a square millimeter area. It is a metric unit commonly used in materials science and engineering to express compressive strength, tensile strength, or material resistance against various forces.
Definition of Standard AtmosphereThe standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa. It represents the typical atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. This measurement is crucial in various scientific fields, including meteorology, aviation, and engineering, to calibrate instruments and describe atmospheric conditions.
