Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
Inch Water (4°c)
Inch water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.
History/Origin
The inch water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and meteorology to measure low-pressure differences, especially in ventilation and HVAC systems, as a practical alternative to more complex units.
Current Use
Today, inch water (4°C) is primarily used in the United States for measuring low-pressure differences in HVAC, ventilation, and fluid systems, serving as a standard unit in these fields within the pressure converter category of common converters.
