What are Pound-force square foot and Centimeter mercury

Definition of Pound-force square foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure or stress. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one pound-force applied uniformly over an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British Engineering units system and is commonly used in construction and engineering in some regions. It helps measure how much force is applied over a specific area and is crucial for ensuring structural integrity.

Definition of Centimeter mercury

Centimeter of mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure measurement that equates to the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter high column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius. This unit is often used in meteorology, aviation, medicine, and various scientific fields to express atmospheric or blood pressure. The precise measurement is crucial for accurate readings and is essential in contexts where exact pressure readings are needed.
