Inch Water (60°f)
Inch water (60°F), symbol inAq, is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a pressure equivalent to one inch of water column.
History/Origin
The inch water unit originated in the United States as a practical measurement for low-pressure applications, particularly in HVAC and fluid systems, based on the height of a water column. Its use has been standardized in various industries for measuring small pressure differences.
Current Use
It is currently used in fields such as HVAC, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid measurements to quantify small pressure differences, especially in the United States.
Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
