Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
Ton-Force (Long)/square Foot
Ton-force (long) per square foot is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) distributed over one square foot.
History/Origin
This unit originated in the UK as a practical measure for engineering and industrial applications, combining the long ton (used primarily in the UK) with square foot to measure pressure in contexts such as structural and mechanical engineering.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units like pascals. It may still appear in historical data, specialized fields, or regional contexts within the UK.
