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.
