About Converting Technical atmospheres to Kilopascals
Technical atmosphere and Kilopascal both show up on pressure gauges — psi is standard on US tire and tool specifications, while bar is the everyday pressure unit across most of the rest of the world. Specifically: Technical atmosphere is kilogram-force per square centimeter, and kilopascal is 1000 pascal units.
Formula
kilopascals = technical atmospheres × 98.0665
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 kilopascal equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct technical atmosphere-to-kilopascal factor of 98.0665.
Simple example
1 at × 98.0665 = 98.0665 kPa
1 technical atmosphere = 98.0665 kilopascals.
Real-world example
35 at × 98.0665 = 3,432.3275 kPa
35 technical atmospheres = 3,432.3275 kilopascals.

Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in 1 technical atmosphere?
1 technical atmosphere equals 98.0665 kilopascals, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert technical atmosphere to kilopascal?
Multiply the technical atmosphere value by 98.0665. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kilopascal back to technical atmosphere?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kilopascal equals 0.0101971621 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 pressure.
What is a kilopascal?
Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure.
Is the technical atmosphere to kilopascal conversion exact?
Yes. Both technical atmosphere and kilopascal are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 98.0665 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
