Pound-Force/square Inch

Pound-force per square inch (lbf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.

History/Origin

The unit originated from the Imperial system and became widely used in the United States for measuring pressure, especially in engineering and tire pressure contexts.

Current Use

Today, lbf/in^2, commonly known as psi, is still used in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications to measure pressure.


Femtopascal

The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.

History/Origin

The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.

Current Use

The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
