Inch Mercury (60°f)
Inch of mercury (60°F) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a column of mercury 1 inch high at 60°F under standard gravity.
History/Origin
Originally used in barometry and meteorology, the inch of mercury has been a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in the Imperial system since the 19th century.
Current Use
It is still used in some regions, such as the United States, primarily for measuring atmospheric pressure in weather reports and aviation, although it is gradually being replaced by Pascals in scientific contexts.
Nanopascal
The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.
History/Origin
The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.
Current Use
Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.
