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.
Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Foot
Ton-force per square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square foot originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily in engineering and construction contexts, to measure pressure or stress levels. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in specific industries.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units such as pascals. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to structural and material stress assessments.
