Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
Ton-Force (Long)/square Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force (long) originated from the imperial system of units used in the UK, where it was defined as the force exerted by a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity. It has been used historically in engineering and pressure measurements but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial contexts in the UK.
