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.
Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
