About Converting Technical atmospheres to Meter of waters
Technical atmosphere and Meter of water both measure a quantity used in structural or mechanical engineering — commonly stress, pressure, force, torque, power, or energy — where converting between the unit conventions used in different regions, industries, or equipment specifications is a routine part of design work. Specifically: Technical atmosphere is kilogram-force per square centimeter, and meter of water column.
Formula
meter of waters = technical atmospheres × 10
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 technical atmosphere equals 98066.5 base units, and 1 meter of water equals 9806.65 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct technical atmosphere-to-meter of water factor of 10.
Simple example
1 at × 10 = 10 mH2O
1 technical atmosphere = 10 meter of waters.
Real-world example
100 at × 10 = 1,000 mH2O
100 technical atmospheres = 1,000 meter of waters.

Reverse conversion: Meter of water to Technical atmosphere
10 mH2O × 0.1 = 1 at
10 meter of waters = 1 technical atmosphere.
technical atmospheres = meter of waters × 0.1

Frequently asked questions
How many meter of waters are in 1 technical atmosphere?
1 technical atmosphere equals 10 meter of waters, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert technical atmosphere to meter of water?
Multiply the technical atmosphere value by 10. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert meter of water back to technical atmosphere?
Use the reverse factor: 1 meter of water equals 0.1 technical atmospheres. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a technical atmosphere?
Technical atmosphere (at) is a unit of engineering.
What is a meter of water?
Meter of water (mH2O) is a unit of engineering.
Is the technical atmosphere to meter of water conversion exact?
Yes. Both technical atmosphere and meter of water are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Why do engineering unit conventions vary so much by region and industry?
Pressure, force, and stress can be expressed in metric (pascal, newton), US customary (psi, pound-force), or older and industry-specific units (atmosphere, torr, kip) depending on the country, industry, and even the equipment manufacturer, which is why engineers routinely need to convert between them when working across specs from different sources.
