Poundal/square Foot
The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The poundal is an imperial unit of force introduced in the 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second system, primarily used in engineering contexts. The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
The poundal per square foot is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the pascal (Pa) in scientific and engineering applications. It may still appear in legacy systems or specific regional engineering contexts.
Millimeter Mercury (0°c)
Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.
Current Use
Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
