Dekapascal
The dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure representing one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The dekapascal was introduced as a metric prefix-based unit to simplify the expression of larger pressures, particularly in fields like meteorology and engineering, aligning with the SI system's prefixes. Its usage is relatively uncommon compared to the pascal.
Current Use
The dekapascal is occasionally used in scientific and technical contexts to express pressure measurements more conveniently, especially in applications where pressures are in the range of thousands of pascals. It is part of pressure conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
Inch Mercury (32°f)
Inch of mercury at 32°F (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a mercury column in inches, used primarily in meteorology and aviation.
History/Origin
The inch of mercury originated from barometric pressure measurements using a mercury barometer, with its use dating back to the 18th century. It became a standard unit in weather reporting and altitude measurement.
Current Use
Today, inHg is primarily used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure, especially in the United States, and in aviation for altitude and pressure readings.
