Newton/square Meter
The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.
Current Use
N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
