What are Poundal square Foot and Millimeter Mercury

A Poundal square Foot (pdl·ft²) is a unit of pressure within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, commonly used in the United States. It represents the pressure exerted by one poundal force applied over an area of one square foot. This non-standard unit helps measure force per unit area, with applications in various scientific and engineering fields.

Millimeter Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure, also known as torr, defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one millimeter high at 0 degrees Celsius under standard gravity. It is commonly used in medicine and meteorology to measure blood pressure and atmospheric pressure respectively. The term originates from the use of mercury in barometers.
