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.
Newton/square Meter
The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.
Current Use
N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
