Inch Water (4°c)
Inch water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
History/Origin
The inch water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and meteorology to measure low-pressure differences, especially in ventilation and HVAC systems, as a practical alternative to more complex units.
Current Use
Today, inch water (4°C) is primarily used in the United States for measuring low-pressure differences in HVAC, ventilation, and fluid systems, serving as a standard unit in these fields within the pressure converter category of common converters.
Kilonewton/square Meter
A kilonewton per square meter (kN/m^2) is a unit of pressure equivalent to one kilonewton of force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The kilonewton per square meter is derived from the SI units of force (newton) and area (square meter). It has been used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields like civil and mechanical engineering, since the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, kN/m^2 is commonly used in engineering to specify stress, pressure, and load measurements, often interchangeably with the Pascal (Pa), where 1 kN/m^2 equals 1,000 Pa.
