Converting from Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) to Atmosphere (atm)

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per square meter (N/m²) is the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the amount of force exerted over a given area. The unit is commonly used in scientific and engineering disciplines to measure pressure.

What is Atmosphere (atm)

Atmosphere (atm) is a unit commonly used to measure pressure, especially in everyday contexts. It represents the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth, which is equivalent to approximately 101,325 pascals (N/m²).

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Newton per square meter (N/m²) to Atmosphere (atm), you can use the following formulas:

1. atm=101325N/m²​

2. N/m²=atm×101325

Examples

1. Converting 5 N/m² to atm:

atm=1013255​≈0.00004935 atm

2. Converting 17 atm to N/m²:

N/m²=17×101325≈1722525 N/m²

Other conversions include:

• 5 N/m² = 0.00004935 atm
• 5 atm = 506625 N/m²
• 15 N/m² = 0.00014804 atm
• 15 atm = 1519875 N/m²
• 17 N/m² = 0.00016778 atm
• 17 atm = 1722525 N/m²
