  2. Pressure altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_altitude

    Solving the equation for the pressure gives = where m are meter and hPa refers to hecto-Pascal. This may be interpreted as the lowest terms of the Taylor expansion of p = 1013.25 exp ⁡ ( − h 8431 m ) hPa {\displaystyle p=1013.25\exp \left({\frac {-h}{8431{\text{ m}}}}\right){\text{ hPa}}} where exp is the exponential function .

  3. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    The reference value for ρ b for b = 0 is the defined sea level value, ρ 0 = 1.2250 kg/m 3 or 0.0023768908 slug/ft 3. Values of ρ b of b = 1 through b = 6 are obtained from the application of the appropriate member of the pair equations 1 and 2 for the case when h = h b +1 .

  4. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar).

  5. Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

    The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa), which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars, [1] 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi. [2] The atm unit is roughly equivalent to the mean sea-level atmospheric pressure on Earth; that is, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is ...

  6. International Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere is a set of models that define values for atmospheric temperature, density, pressure and other properties over a wide range of altitudes. The first model, based on an existing international standard, was published in 1958 by the U.S. Committee on Extension to the Standard Atmosphere, [ 9 ] and was updated in 1962 ...

  7. Standard temperature and pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_temperature_and...

    Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 bar (100 kPa, 10 5 Pa). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [3] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).

  8. Standard atmosphere (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_atmosphere_(unit)

    The standard atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure exerted by a 760 mm column of mercury at 0 °C (32 °F) and standard gravity (g n = 9.806 65 m/s 2). [2] It was used as a reference condition for physical and chemical properties, and the definition of the centigrade temperature scale set 100 °C as the boiling point of water at this pressure.
