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 The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.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.
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.
