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.
Megapascal
The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the pressure exerted by a force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The megapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring high pressures, especially in engineering and scientific applications, replacing larger units like the bar in many contexts.
Current Use
The MPa is widely used today in engineering, material science, and industrial applications to specify pressures in fields such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and structural engineering.
