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.
Foot Water (60°f)
Foot water (60°F), symbolized as ftAq, is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (60°F) unit originated from the use of water column measurements in hydraulic and engineering applications, primarily in the United States, to quantify pressure in terms of the height of a water column at a standard temperature of 60°F.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields related to hydraulics, water systems, and fluid dynamics, although it is less common today with the adoption of SI units.
