Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The gigapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure high-pressure phenomena, especially in materials science and geophysics, as a larger unit than the pascal for convenience.
Current Use
GPa is commonly used to quantify stress, pressure in geological formations, material strength, and high-pressure physics applications.
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.
