What is standard atmospheric pressure measured in?
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa; 1,013.25 mbar), which is equivalent to 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.
Where is the atmospheric pressure located?
We live at the bottom of the atmosphere, and the weight of all the air above us is called air pressure. Above every square inch on the surface of the Earth is 14.7 pounds of air. That means air exerts 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure at Earth’s surface. High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases.

What is standard atmospheric pressure in kPa?
101.325 kPa
For example, standard atmospheric pressure (or 1 atm) is defined as 101.325 kPa. The millibar, a unit of air pressure often used in meteorology, is equal to 0.1 kPa. (For comparison, one pound per square inch equals 6.895 kPa.)

Is torr and mmHg the same?
One unit of gas pressure is the millimeter of mercury (mmHg). An equivalent unit to the mmHg is called the torr, in honor of the inventor of the barometer, Evangelista Torricelli. Standard atmospheric pressure is called 1 atm of pressure and is equal to 760 mmHg and 101.3 kPa.
Is kPa same as kN m2?
Convert the kPa value to kN/m^2 directly. These two values are exactly equivalent and are completely interchangeable.
