Calorie (Th)
The calorie (th) is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie (th) was historically used in the context of thermochemistry and nutrition, originating from the calorie concept in the 19th century. It has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts but remains in common use in some regions and fields.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th) is primarily used in nutrition labeling and food energy measurements, especially in regions where the thermochemical calorie is still recognized, although the joule is the SI standard.
Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
