What are kipf/in² and inH2O

Definition of kipf/in²

A kip-force per square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure. One kip-force is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force. When this force is distributed over an area of one square inch, you get a pressure reading in kipf/in², commonly used in structural engineering to measure stress.

Definition of inH2O

Inches of water (inH2O) is a non-SI unit for pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water one inch high at a specific temperature, often 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Used for measuring small pressure differences, it's common in engineering fields.
