Inch Mercury (60°f)
Inch of mercury (60°F) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a column of mercury 1 inch high at 60°F under standard gravity.
History/Origin
Originally used in barometry and meteorology, the inch of mercury has been a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in the Imperial system since the 19th century.
Current Use
It is still used in some regions, such as the United States, primarily for measuring atmospheric pressure in weather reports and aviation, although it is gradually being replaced by Pascals in scientific contexts.
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.
