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.
Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
