Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter
Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of gram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gram, and was commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts before the adoption of SI units. It was primarily used in regions and industries where the metric system was prevalent.
Current Use
Today, gf/cm² is largely considered obsolete and is rarely used in modern scientific or engineering applications. Pressure measurements are typically expressed in pascals (Pa) or bar, but the unit may still appear in legacy systems or specific niche contexts.
Foot Water (60°f)
Foot water (60°F), symbolized as ftAq, is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (60°F) unit originated from the use of water column measurements in hydraulic and engineering applications, primarily in the United States, to quantify pressure in terms of the height of a water column at a standard temperature of 60°F.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields related to hydraulics, water systems, and fluid dynamics, although it is less common today with the adoption of SI units.
