Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
Gigawatt-Hour
A gigawatt-hour (GW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one billion watt-hours, representing the amount of energy produced or consumed over one hour at a power level of one gigawatt.
History/Origin
The gigawatt-hour emerged as a standard unit of energy measurement in the 20th century with the development of large-scale power generation and electrical engineering, facilitating the quantification of energy production and consumption in power plants and grids.
Current Use
Gigawatt-hours are used today to measure large-scale energy production, consumption, and capacity in power systems, renewable energy projects, and national energy statistics, aiding in energy management and planning.
