Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
Poundal/square Foot
The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The poundal is an imperial unit of force introduced in the 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second system, primarily used in engineering contexts. The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
The poundal per square foot is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the pascal (Pa) in scientific and engineering applications. It may still appear in legacy systems or specific regional engineering contexts.
