Inch Water (4°c)
Inch water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
History/Origin
The inch water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and meteorology to measure low-pressure differences, especially in ventilation and HVAC systems, as a practical alternative to more complex units.
Current Use
Today, inch water (4°C) is primarily used in the United States for measuring low-pressure differences in HVAC, ventilation, and fluid systems, serving as a standard unit in these fields within the pressure converter category of common converters.
Dekapascal
The dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure representing one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The dekapascal was introduced as a metric prefix-based unit to simplify the expression of larger pressures, particularly in fields like meteorology and engineering, aligning with the SI system's prefixes. Its usage is relatively uncommon compared to the pascal.
Current Use
The dekapascal is occasionally used in scientific and technical contexts to express pressure measurements more conveniently, especially in applications where pressures are in the range of thousands of pascals. It is part of pressure conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
