Inch Mercury (60°f)
Inch of mercury (60°F) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a column of mercury 1 inch high at 60°F under standard gravity.
History/Origin
Originally used in barometry and meteorology, the inch of mercury has been a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in the Imperial system since the 19th century.
Current Use
It is still used in some regions, such as the United States, primarily for measuring atmospheric pressure in weather reports and aviation, although it is gradually being replaced by Pascals in scientific contexts.
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.
