Millimeter Water (4°c)
Millimeter water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 4 degrees Celsius that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of water columns to measure pressure, particularly in hydrology and medical applications, with standardization based on the density of water at 4°C.
Current Use
It is primarily used in medical and scientific contexts to measure low pressures, such as intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and in calibration of pressure sensors.
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.
