Horsepower Hour
A horsepower hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy equivalent to one horsepower of power sustained over one hour of time.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour originated from the traditional unit of horsepower used to quantify engine power, combined with the hour to measure energy consumption or production over time. It has been used primarily in engineering and energy industries to express energy usage or capacity.
Current Use
Today, the horsepower hour is rarely used in practical applications, having been largely replaced by the joule and other SI units. However, it may still be referenced in historical data, legacy systems, or specific industries dealing with older measurement standards within the energy and mechanical sectors.
Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
