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.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, where one pascal is defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The kilopascal was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, replacing larger units like the bar in many applications.
Current Use
The kilopascal is widely used today in various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics to measure pressure, including tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure.
