Centimeter Water (4°c)

Centimeter water (4°C), symbol cmH2O, is a unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.

History/Origin

The centimeter water was developed as a practical unit of pressure measurement in medical and engineering contexts, especially for low-pressure measurements such as respiratory and fluid pressure, originating from the use of water columns in manometers.

Current Use

It is primarily used in medical settings to measure intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and other low-pressure applications where precise measurement of small pressure differences is required.


Ksi

Ksi (kilopound per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing thousands of pounds-force per square inch.

History/Origin

The unit originated from the imperial system, primarily used in the United States for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts, especially in the oil and gas industries.

Current Use

Ksi is still used today in engineering, construction, and manufacturing to specify material strength, pressure ratings, and structural specifications, particularly in the United States.
