Converting from Atmosphere (atm) to Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²)

What is Atmosphere (atm)

Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure commonly used in chemistry and meteorology. It is a measure of the pressure exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level, which is equivalent to 101.325 kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²).

What is Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²)

Kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one kilonewton of force applied over an area of one square meter.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between atmospheres (atm) and kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²) can be done using the following formulas:

atm=kN/m²×0.009869233

kN/m²=atm×101.325

Examples

• To convert 3 atmospheres (atm) to kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²), we use the formula:

3 atm=3×101.325 kN/m²=303.975 kN/m²

• To convert 4 kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²) to atmospheres (atm), we use the formula:

4 kN/m²=4×0.009869233 atm=0.03947693 atm

• For a more significant conversion, 12 atmospheres (atm) is equal to 1215.9 kN/m².

Remember to use the conversion formulas to accurately convert between atmospheres and kilonewtons per square meter.
