How to Convert Pascals to Atmospheres
Converting pascals (Pa) to atmospheres (atm) is a common conversion. One standard atmosphere is equal to 101,325 pascals.
Formula
Atmospheres = Pascals / 101325
or
atm = Pa / 101325
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in pascals
- Divide that number by 101,325
- The result is the equivalent amount in atmospheres
Examples
- 1 Pa = 0.00000986923 atm
- 101325 Pa = 1 atm
- 50000 Pa = 0.49346 atm
When to Convert Pascals to Atmospheres
This conversion is commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and various scientific fields to express pressure relative to standard atmospheric pressure.
