Inch Mercury (32°f)
Inch of mercury at 32°F (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a mercury column in inches, used primarily in meteorology and aviation.
History/Origin
The inch of mercury originated from barometric pressure measurements using a mercury barometer, with its use dating back to the 18th century. It became a standard unit in weather reporting and altitude measurement.
Current Use
Today, inHg is primarily used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure, especially in the United States, and in aviation for altitude and pressure readings.
Millimeter Water (4°c)
Millimeter water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 4 degrees Celsius that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of water columns to measure pressure, particularly in hydrology and medical applications, with standardization based on the density of water at 4°C.
Current Use
It is primarily used in medical and scientific contexts to measure low pressures, such as intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and in calibration of pressure sensors.
