Kilogram-Force/square Meter
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, before the adoption of SI units. It was commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure in contexts where gravitational force was considered.
Current Use
Today, kgf/m^2 is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit Pascal (Pa). However, it may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to pressure measurement.
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.
