bar

Explanation:
If this IS a typo for the above, I'd ask the customer for confirmation how it should be given - neither "atm" NOR "atü" are strictly in use any more; pressure should be expressed as "... bar"...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree M TRANSLATIONS: would use bar too, makes sense
4 hrs

disagree Ford Prefect: In SI units 1 atm = 101,325 kPa, 1 bar = 100,000 kPa. atm and bar are different units and although nearly equivalent, interchanging them in a scientific context is risky.
