What are Inch Mercury 60 Degree Fahrenheit and Pound-force square Foot

Definition of Inch Mercury 60 Degree Fahrenheit

Inch of Mercury at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (inHg 60 °F) is a unit of pressure measurement. It represents the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 60 °F. This unit is commonly used in meteorology and aviation to measure atmospheric pressure. The specific temperature reference is important as the density of mercury changes with temperature, affecting the pressure reading.

Definition of Pound-force square Foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure expressed as the force of one pound acting on an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. It is often employed in engineering and construction to quantify loads or stress on surfaces, such as in the design of buildings and aircraft.
