How to Convert
To convert kilograms per square meter (kgf/m²) to atmospheres (atm), multiply the pressure value by 9.6784E-5. This conversion factor is based on the standard atmospheric pressure definition.
atmospheres = kilograms per square meter × 9.6784E-5
Understanding the Units
Kilograms per Square Meter (kgf/m²)
A unit of pressure equal to the force of one kilogram applied to an area of one square meter. It's a non-SI metric unit that's now deprecated but still used in some applications.
Atmosphere (atm)
A standard unit of pressure equal to 101,325 pascals (Pa). It was originally defined as the average pressure of Earth's atmosphere at sea level.
Example Calculation
Converting 50,000 kgf/m² to atmospheres:
50,000 × 9.6784E-5 = 4.839206 atm
