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.
Inch Mercury (32°f)
Inch of mercury at 32°F (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a mercury column in inches, used primarily in meteorology and aviation.
History/Origin
The inch of mercury originated from barometric pressure measurements using a mercury barometer, with its use dating back to the 18th century. It became a standard unit in weather reporting and altitude measurement.
Current Use
Today, inHg is primarily used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure, especially in the United States, and in aviation for altitude and pressure readings.
