About Converting Meter of waters to Technical atmospheres
Meter of water and Technical atmosphere 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: Meter of water column, and technical atmosphere is kilogram-force per square centimeter.
Formula
technical atmospheres = meter of waters × 0.1
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 meter of water equals 9806.65 base units, and 1 technical atmosphere equals 98066.5 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct meter of water-to-technical atmosphere factor of 0.1.
Simple example
1 mH2O × 0.1 = 0.1 at
1 meter of water = 0.1 technical atmospheres.
Real-world example
100 mH2O × 0.1 = 10 at
100 meter of waters = 10 technical atmospheres.
Conversion table
| Meter of water (mH2O) | Technical atmosphere (at) |
|---|---|
| 1 mH2O | 0.1 at |
| 10 mH2O | 1 at |
| 50 mH2O | 5 at |
| 100 mH2O | 10 at |
| 500 mH2O | 50 at |
| 1,000 mH2O | 100 at |
Reverse conversion: Technical atmosphere to Meter of water
0.1 at × 10 = 1 mH2O
0.1 technical atmospheres = 1 meter of water.
meter of waters = technical atmospheres × 10

Frequently asked questions
How many technical atmospheres are in 1 meter of water?
1 meter of water equals 0.1 technical atmospheres, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert meter of water to technical atmosphere?
Multiply the meter of water value by 0.1. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert technical atmosphere back to meter of water?
Use the reverse factor: 1 technical atmosphere equals 10 meter of waters. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a meter of water?
Meter of water (mH2O) is a unit of engineering.
What is a technical atmosphere?
Technical atmosphere (at) is a unit of engineering.
Is the meter of water to technical atmosphere conversion exact?
Yes. Both meter of water and technical atmosphere are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1 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.
