Bar
The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.
Current Use
The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
Inch Water (60°f)
Inch water (60°F), symbol inAq, is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a pressure equivalent to one inch of water column.
History/Origin
The inch water unit originated in the United States as a practical measurement for low-pressure applications, particularly in HVAC and fluid systems, based on the height of a water column. Its use has been standardized in various industries for measuring small pressure differences.
Current Use
It is currently used in fields such as HVAC, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid measurements to quantify small pressure differences, especially in the United States.
