Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
Foot Water (60°f)
Foot water (60°F), symbolized as ftAq, is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (60°F) unit originated from the use of water column measurements in hydraulic and engineering applications, primarily in the United States, to quantify pressure in terms of the height of a water column at a standard temperature of 60°F.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields related to hydraulics, water systems, and fluid dynamics, although it is less common today with the adoption of SI units.
