    • Kilopascal (kPa).

      Kilopascal (kPa): A unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals. It is commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in applications involving fluids and gases.
    • Pounds per square inch (psi): 

      A unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and other countries that follow the imperial system. It represents the amount of force exerted by one pound-force acting on an area of one square inch.
    • Pascal (Pa) 

      It is defined as one newton per square meter, representing the pressure exerted by a force of one newton acting uniformly over an area of one square meter.
    • Pressure head: 

      The height of a column of fluid required to produce a specific pressure at its base.
    • The pressure area: 

      refers to the surface or boundary where the hydrostatic pressure is exerted.
    • Fluid column:

      A vertical column of fluid in a container, where the pressure at the bottom is greater than at the top due to the weight of the fluid.
