Millibar
A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.
Current Use
Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.
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.
