Millimeter Water (4°c)
Millimeter water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 4 degrees Celsius that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of water columns to measure pressure, particularly in hydrology and medical applications, with standardization based on the density of water at 4°C.
Current Use
It is primarily used in medical and scientific contexts to measure low pressures, such as intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and in calibration of pressure sensors.
Foot Water (4°c)
Foot water (4°C), symbol ftAq, is a unit of pressure representing the height of a water column at 4°C that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in water-related applications, as an alternative to other pressure units like inches of water or meters of water. Its usage dates back to traditional measurements in hydraulic and civil engineering.
Current Use
Today, foot water (4°C) is primarily used in specialized fields such as hydrology, water management, and engineering to measure low pressures, particularly in systems involving water flow and pressure head calculations.
