Psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the force of one pound applied to an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The psi originated in the United States as a customary unit of pressure, commonly used in engineering and industrial applications. It became standardized with the development of the imperial system of units.
Current Use
Psi is widely used today in various fields such as automotive tire pressure, plumbing, and industrial pressure measurements, especially in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
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.
