What is AMPS or ATBS?

Answer 1

It's an abbreviation for Ampere. It's the unit of measure for current, not to be confused with Volt, which is the unit of measure for a difference in potential. It's the current (amps) that will kill you, not the voltage.

Answer 2

AMPS stands for Advanced Mobile Phone System, which was an analog mobile phone system developed by Bell Labs in the 1970s. ATBS stands for Automated Trading Bot Software, which is a type of software that uses algorithms to automatically execute trades on behalf of users in financial markets.

Answer 3

Not sure if there's an electrical meaning for this but both terms are synonyms for the chemical with the IUPAC systematic name 2-acryloylamino-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid.

Being a slightly more complex molecule there have been different ways of naming it.

AMPS is 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. The AMPS name is a registered trademark so most other manufacturers use the ATBS name.

ATBS is 2-acrylamido-tertbutylsulfonic acid.

Different names for the same chemical.

This material is widely used as a monomer in the manufacture of polymers for medical hydrogels, water treatment chemicals, scale inhibitors, and synthetic fibres among others.

Answer 4

The word amp is short for ampere. The ampere is named after Andre Marie Ampere. An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.
