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.


Hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

History/Origin

The hectopascal was introduced as part of the metric system and became widely adopted in meteorology during the 20th century for standardizing atmospheric pressure measurements.

Current Use

Today, the hectopascal is predominantly used in weather reporting and forecasting to indicate atmospheric pressure, with standard sea-level pressure approximately 1013 hPa.
