Centimeter Water (4°c)
Centimeter water (4°C), symbol cmH2O, is a unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
History/Origin
The centimeter water was developed as a practical unit of pressure measurement in medical and engineering contexts, especially for low-pressure measurements such as respiratory and fluid pressure, originating from the use of water columns in manometers.
Current Use
It is primarily used in medical settings to measure intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and other low-pressure applications where precise measurement of small pressure differences is required.
Foot Water (60°f)
Foot water (60°F), symbolized as ftAq, is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (60°F) unit originated from the use of water column measurements in hydraulic and engineering applications, primarily in the United States, to quantify pressure in terms of the height of a water column at a standard temperature of 60°F.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields related to hydraulics, water systems, and fluid dynamics, although it is less common today with the adoption of SI units.
