It just means that the pressure you're measuring is

approximately the same as Earth's air pressure at sea level.

'Standard' atmospheric pressure is defined as 1013.25 millibars - which is equivalent to 760mm (or 29.92 inches) of Mercury - or 14.696 psi.

What do you mean by the statement 'the atmospheric pressure is 1 ATM?

That's just circular : it's a self description.


How big is air pressure?

I'll assume you mean atmospheric pressure, which is generally stated to be 101,325 Pascals... 101,325 Pa 101.325 kPa 760 torr 760 mmHg 1 ATM 1 bar


Why would a balloon inside a bell jar inflate when pressure is decreased within the jar?

The balloon exists in a separate pressure system from the bell jar itself.As the balloon is open to the surrounding air, the pressure within the balloon is 1 atm (1 atmospheric unit of pressure = 105 Pa).When pressure is decreased within the jar, the pressure within the jar decreases to a value lower than 1 atm. Therefore, to counter the low pressure created in the jar, the atmospheric air moves into the balloon and pushes the balloon into the jar to attempt to equalize the pressure in the balloon and in the jar. Therefore the balloon inflates.


What is the expected pressure of air in lungs of a diver at 4 meters below the sea level?

Air pressure (at sea level) is about 1 bar; every 10 meters below the water surface, pressure increases by about 1 bar - that gives a total of 1 + 0.4 = 1.4 bar. (1 bar is about 1 atmosphere.)


The atmospheric pressure at the summit of MtMcKinley is 606 mm Hg on a certain day What is the pressure in ATM and in kPa?

The standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi which is equal to 1014 millibars and 760 mm Hg. Therefore 606 mm Hg = 606/760 of an atmosphere = 0.797 atm. Therefore in millibars it is 0.797 x 1014 = 808.5 mb. Now 1 mb = 100 Pa = 0.1 kPa, so 808.5 mb = 80.85 kPa.

What is equivalent to 1 ATM?

The atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is 101,325 Pa. In practice, it is usually approximated to 1 bar (100,000 Pa).In terms on barometric readings, it is 760 mmHg.


What is the pressure in atmospheres on the body of a diver if he is 21 ft below the surface when the atmospheric pressure at the surface is 0.94 atm?

The pressure of freshwater increases by 1 atm for each 34 ft of depth. The pressure of seawater increases by 1 atm for each 33 ft of depth. If surface pressure is 0.97 atm, simply add that pressure to the pressure of the water. For seawater, you are exactly 1 atm below the surface... So: 1 atm + 0.97 atm = 1.97 atm For freshwater, divide 33 by 34 to get the fraction of an atmosphere you're adding to your surface pressure: 33/34 * 1 = 0.97 atm Then add that number to the surface pressure: 0.97 + 0.97 = 0.94 atm
