Pound-Force Inch
Pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque representing the torque resulting from a one-pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force inch has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to quantify torque, especially in the United States, based on the imperial system of units. It originated from the need to measure rotational force in machinery and automotive applications.
Current Use
Today, pound-force inch is still used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical fields to specify torque values, particularly in the United States. It is often converted to SI units like newton-meters for international standardization.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
