Foot Water (4°c)
Foot water (4°C), symbol ftAq, is a unit of pressure representing the height of a water column at 4°C that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in water-related applications, as an alternative to other pressure units like inches of water or meters of water. Its usage dates back to traditional measurements in hydraulic and civil engineering.
Current Use
Today, foot water (4°C) is primarily used in specialized fields such as hydrology, water management, and engineering to measure low pressures, particularly in systems involving water flow and pressure head calculations.
Millimeter Mercury (0°c)
Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.
Current Use
Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
