Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square inch originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts. It has been used historically in fields such as material testing and hydraulic systems.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by the more standard unit of pressure, the pound per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy documents or specific industrial applications where imperial units are preferred.
