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.
Hectopascal
The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The hectopascal was introduced as part of the metric system and became widely adopted in meteorology during the 20th century for standardizing atmospheric pressure measurements.
Current Use
Today, the hectopascal is predominantly used in weather reporting and forecasting to indicate atmospheric pressure, with standard sea-level pressure approximately 1013 hPa.
