Pound-Force/square Foot
Pound-force per square foot (lbf/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
This unit has been traditionally used in the United States for measuring pressure, especially in fields like construction and engineering, originating from the imperial system of units.
Current Use
Today, pound-force per square foot is primarily used in specific engineering and construction contexts within the US, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like Pascals in scientific and international applications.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
