	Earth's atmosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atmospheric pressure drops by ~50% at an altitude of about 5 km (equivalently, about 50% of the total atmospheric mass is within the lowest 5 km).
		The average atmospheric pressure, at sea level, is about 101.3 kilopascals (about 14.7 pounds per square inch).
		Even at heights of 1000 km and above, the atmosphere is still present (as can be seen for example by the effects of atmospheric drag on satellites).

	Production of a fuel gas with a stabilized metal carbide catalyst - Patent 4372755
		The process of claim 24 wherein the temperature of the reactor is the threshold temperature range of the stabilized metal carbide catalyst and the stabilized metal carbide catalyst is selected from the group consisting of iron silicide carbide, manganese chromium carbide, ferrochromium carbide and manganese cobalt carbide.
		The fluidized bed was maintained at a pressure of 100 psig (690 kilopascals) and a temperature of 700.degree.
		The reactor off-gas obtained a maximum of 33.9 percent methane and then the methane content decreased, apparently as a result of the decomposition of the catalyst which is shown by the Mossbauer analyses of the composition of the iron carbide in Table 4.

	Air Pressure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Pressure is measured in units called kilopascals and the atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101 kilopascals.
		If it were possible to cut a slice out of the atmosphere measuring one square centimetre at the base and extending upwards to 400 kilometres - that is, to the limits of the atmosphere - and to weigh this slice, it would weigh about one kilogram (or more correctly 10N).
		The force on the one square centimetre at the base of this column of air would be equivalent to a pressure of 101 kilopascals or the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

		As a pascal is a somewhat small unit, it is often expressed in terms of "kilopascals (kPa)", or thousands of pascals.
		He's increased the volume by a factor of four, but he's also increased the area of the base by a factor of four, and so the pressure remains the same as it was for the one-cubic-meter tank.
		This means that it doesn't matter what size the base of the tank is. As long as the water in it is a meter deep, the pressure on the bottom in 9.8 kilopascals.

	Hectopascals? No! No! Never!
		The proper units of atmospheric pressure are kilopascals (kPa), which are, for example, the units which have been used by Environment Canada in its public weather reports for many years (I live close to the border and hear these units used on Canadian radio and television stations).
		Someone answered the question, then one of the forum regulars who is knowledgeable about weather jumped in with a comment "I thought kilopascals were the same as millibars." This confusion is one of the hidden dangers of using hectopascals equal to millibars.
		Let him or her know that kilopascals are the proper units for atmospheric pressureand that millibars are obsolete and trying to hang onto them by calling them hectopascals is wrong.

	The Flight of Apollo-13
		Besides power, the chemical reaction in the cells produced water, which not only supplied the crew's drinking water but was circulated through cooling plates to remove heat from certain critical electronic components.
		The tanks were designed to operate at pressures of 865 to 935 pounds per square inch (psi) (6,000 to 6,450 kilopascals) and temperatures between -340 degrees F and +80 degrees F (-207 degrees C to +27 degrees C).
		Each tank was fitted with a relief valve designed to open when the pressure rose above 1,000 psi (6,900 kilopascals); the tanks themselves would rupture at pressures above 2,200 psi (15,169 kilopascals).

	A train that runs on feathers - Advanced Physics Forums
		They also found that the pore pressure underneath a snowboard with a surface area of 5000 square centimetres is about 1.4 kilopascals.
		Extrapolating these results to the case of a 50-ton high-speed train, Weinbaum and co-workers calculated that 9.8 kilopascals of pore pressure would be needed to support a train that was 25 metres long and 2 metres wide.
		According to the scientists, a porous material with a permeability of 10-8 metres squared or smaller - such as goose down - could be used as a track that was capable of supporting the weight of the moving train (figure 2).
