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square foot is primarily used in specific engineering and construction contexts within the US, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like Pascals in scientific and international applications.
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.
