Kip-Force/square Inch
Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kip applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The kip-force is a unit of force used primarily in the United States, especially in engineering contexts, where it is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. The unit kip-force per square inch has been used in structural engineering to measure stress and pressure in materials and structures.
Current Use
Today, kipf/in^2 is primarily used in the United States within structural engineering and material testing to specify stress levels, though the SI unit Pascal is more common internationally.
Centimeter Mercury (0°c)
Centimeter mercury (0°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of mercury at 0°C.
History/Origin
The centimeter mercury was historically used in barometry and pressure measurements before the adoption of the pascal. It originated from the use of mercury columns in barometers to measure atmospheric pressure, with the unit reflecting the height of the mercury column.
Current Use
Today, the centimeter mercury is largely obsolete and replaced by SI units like the pascal. However, it is still used in some medical and historical contexts to measure blood pressure and atmospheric pressure in certain regions.
