APPLICATIONS

In Chemistry , standard temperature and pressure ( STP ) is defined as a reference temperature of 0 °C (273.15 K ) and pressure of 101.325 KPa (1 atm).

In the United Kingdom , Scuba Diver s and others often use the word ''atmosphere'' loosely to mean 1 Bar (1000 millibars, or 100000 Pa ).

The unit Technical Atmosphere (at) is roughly equal to the Gauge Pressure under 10 M of water; 1 at = 98066.5 Pa.
