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.
Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The gigapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure high-pressure phenomena, especially in materials science and geophysics, as a larger unit than the pascal for convenience.
Current Use
GPa is commonly used to quantify stress, pressure in geological formations, material strength, and high-pressure physics applications.
