Atmosphere Technical
The atmosphere technical (at) is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The atmosphere technical was established as a standard unit of pressure in the early 20th century to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving atmospheric pressure, aligning with the international standard atmosphere (ISA).
Current Use
It is primarily used in scientific, meteorological, and engineering contexts to quantify atmospheric pressure, especially in fields requiring standardized pressure measurements at sea level.
Picopascal
The picopascal (pPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-12 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The picopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very low pressures, primarily in scientific research and specialized fields requiring high precision. Its usage has been limited due to the small magnitude of the unit.
Current Use
Currently, the picopascal is rarely used in practical applications but may be employed in scientific experiments involving ultra-low pressure measurements or in theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure values are relevant.
