Pound-Force/square Inch
Pound-force per square inch (lbf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the Imperial system and became widely used in the United States for measuring pressure, especially in engineering and tire pressure contexts.
Current Use
Today, lbf/in^2, commonly known as psi, is still used in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications to measure pressure.
Foot Water (4°c)
Foot water (4°C), symbol ftAq, is a unit of pressure representing the height of a water column at 4°C that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in water-related applications, as an alternative to other pressure units like inches of water or meters of water. Its usage dates back to traditional measurements in hydraulic and civil engineering.
Current Use
Today, foot water (4°C) is primarily used in specialized fields such as hydrology, water management, and engineering to measure low pressures, particularly in systems involving water flow and pressure head calculations.
