History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
Btu (Th)
The Btu (th), or British thermal unit (th), is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to measure heat content, equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The Btu (th) originated from the British thermal unit, a traditional unit of heat in the British Imperial system, and has been used historically in heating, cooling, and energy industries to quantify energy content and heat transfer.
Current Use
Today, the Btu (th) is mainly used in the energy sector, particularly in heating and cooling systems, natural gas billing, and energy content measurement, especially within the United States.
