Pound-Force/square Inch
Pound-force per square inch (lbf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the Imperial system and became widely used in the United States for measuring pressure, especially in engineering and tire pressure contexts.
Current Use
Today, lbf/in^2, commonly known as psi, is still used in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications to measure pressure.
Micropascal
The micropascal (µPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a pascal, used to measure very low pressures.
History/Origin
The micropascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system to quantify extremely small pressure values, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, though it is rarely used in practical applications.
Current Use
The micropascal is primarily used in scientific research, acoustics, and environmental monitoring where precise measurement of very low pressures is required.
