Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
Btu (It)
The Btu (IT) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the International Table (IT) standards.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit, adapted for international standards to provide a consistent measurement of heat energy, particularly in engineering and thermodynamics contexts.
Current Use
The Btu (IT) is primarily used in the energy industry, including heating, cooling, and power generation, to quantify energy content and efficiency in systems adhering to international standards.
