Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
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 It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.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.
