  2. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar , and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to ...

  3. Kilogram-force per square centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force_per_square...

    In SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). A newton is equal to 1 kgm/s 2 , and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 N, [ 3 ] meaning that 1 kgf/cm 2 equals 98.0665 kilopascals (kPa).

  5. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kgm/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N·m2 or kg·m1 ·s2). This special name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed in units such as N·m2. When indicated, the zero reference is stated in parentheses following the unit, for example 101 kPa (abs).

  7. Vacuum cleaner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_cleaner

    Only the hose and cleaning head need be carried from room to room, and the hose is commonly 8 m (25 ft) long, allowing a large range of movement without changing vacuum inlets. Plastic or metal piping connects the inlets to the central unit. The vacuum head may be unpowered, or have beaters operated by an electric motor or by an air-driven turbine

  8. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    A simplified version of the definition is: The k v factor of a valve indicates "The water flow in m 3 /h, at a pressure drop across the valve of 1 kgf/cm 2 when the valve is completely open. The complete definition also says that the flow medium must have a density of 1000 kg/m 3 and a kinematic viscosity of 10 −6 m 2 /s, e.g. water. [clarify]
