Foot Water (4°c)
Foot water (4°C), symbol ftAq, is a unit of pressure representing the height of a water column at 4°C that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in water-related applications, as an alternative to other pressure units like inches of water or meters of water. Its usage dates back to traditional measurements in hydraulic and civil engineering.
Current Use
Today, foot water (4°C) is primarily used in specialized fields such as hydrology, water management, and engineering to measure low pressures, particularly in systems involving water flow and pressure head calculations.
Newton/square Meter
The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.
Current Use
N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
