An amagat is a practical unit of number density. Although it can be applied to any substance at any conditions, it is defined as the number of ideal gas molecules per unit volume at 1 atm (= 101.325 kPa) and 0 °C (= 273.15 K). It is named after Émile Amagat, who also has Amagat's law named after him. The abbreviated form of amagat is "amg." The abbreviation "Am" has also been used.

Definition
Number density in amg, denoted here by
where n0 = 1 amg = 2.686 7805×1025 m−3 = 44.615 036 mol/m3 is the Loschmidt constant.
In practice, number density of an ideal gas at pressure P and temperature T can be calculated as
where T0 = 273.15 K and p0 = 101.325 kPa.
Example
Number density of an ideal gas (such as air) at room temperature (20 °C) and 1 atm (101.325 kPa) is
