Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
