Newton/square Centimeter
The newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of force, the newton, combined with the centimeter as a unit of area. It has been used in fields like engineering and physics to measure pressure, especially in contexts where the centimeter is a convenient unit of length. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m².
Current Use
The N/cm² is still used in certain engineering and industrial applications, particularly in contexts where pressure measurements are expressed in centimeters rather than meters. It is also used in some scientific fields for convenience, though the pascal is more common internationally.
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.
