Kip-Force/square Inch
Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kip applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The kip-force is a unit of force used primarily in the United States, especially in engineering contexts, where it is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. The unit kip-force per square inch has been used in structural engineering to measure stress and pressure in materials and structures.
Current Use
Today, kipf/in^2 is primarily used in the United States within structural engineering and material testing to specify stress levels, though the SI unit Pascal is more common internationally.
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.
