Inch Water (60°f)
Inch water (60°F), symbol inAq, is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a pressure equivalent to one inch of water column.
History/Origin
The inch water unit originated in the United States as a practical measurement for low-pressure applications, particularly in HVAC and fluid systems, based on the height of a water column. Its use has been standardized in various industries for measuring small pressure differences.
Current Use
It is currently used in fields such as HVAC, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid measurements to quantify small pressure differences, especially in the United States.
Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
