Decipascal

A decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.1 pascals (Pa). A pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). The decipascal is used in various scientific and engineering contexts.

Origin:

The term "decipascal" combines the SI prefix "deci-", representing 0.1, and the unit "pascal," named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to the study of pressure and fluid mechanics. The prefix "deci-" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning "tenth." The decipascal is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.

Pascal

The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It quantifies force per unit area and is commonly used to measure pressure, stress, and tensile strength. Mathematically: 1 Pa = 1 N/m² = 1 kg·m⁻¹·s⁻².

Origin:

The unit is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), a French mathematician, physicist, and inventor known for his significant contributions to fluid mechanics and the study of pressure. His work on the principles of hydraulic fluids, including Pascal's Law, laid the foundation for modern fluid dynamics. The pascal as a unit was officially adopted in 1971 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) as part of the International System of Units (SI).
