Kilogram-Force/sq. Cm
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gravitational force on a kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the Pascal. It was particularly prevalent in countries using the metric system for pressure measurements.
Current Use
Although largely replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts, kgf/cm² is still used in some industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, and engineering to express pressure, especially in regions or applications where traditional units persist.
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.
