Inch Water (60°f)
Inch water (60°F), symbol inAq, is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a pressure equivalent to one inch of water column.
History/Origin
The inch water unit originated in the United States as a practical measurement for low-pressure applications, particularly in HVAC and fluid systems, based on the height of a water column. Its use has been standardized in various industries for measuring small pressure differences.
Current Use
It is currently used in fields such as HVAC, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid measurements to quantify small pressure differences, especially in the United States.
Centipascal
The centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one hundredth of a pascal, where 1 pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The centipascal was introduced as a smaller unit of pressure for more precise measurements, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts, although it is not widely used in practice. It derives from the pascal, the SI base unit established in 1960.
Current Use
The centipascal is rarely used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific literature or calibration contexts where fine pressure distinctions are necessary.
