Inch Mercury (60°f)
Inch of mercury (60°F) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a column of mercury 1 inch high at 60°F under standard gravity.
History/Origin
Originally used in barometry and meteorology, the inch of mercury has been a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in the Imperial system since the 19th century.
Current Use
It is still used in some regions, such as the United States, primarily for measuring atmospheric pressure in weather reports and aviation, although it is gradually being replaced by Pascals in scientific contexts.
Atmosphere Technical
The atmosphere technical (at) is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The atmosphere technical was established as a standard unit of pressure in the early 20th century to facilitate scientific and engineering calculations involving atmospheric pressure, aligning with the international standard atmosphere (ISA).
Current Use
It is primarily used in scientific, meteorological, and engineering contexts to quantify atmospheric pressure, especially in fields requiring standardized pressure measurements at sea level.
