In music, ICP stands for Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit horrorcore rap duo, and originally Inner City Posse. In HVAC, ICP stands for International Comfort Products, the Carrier-owned manufacturer of Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker furnaces and air conditioners. In medicine, ICP stands for Intracranial Pressure, the pressure inside the skull, and also for Intracranial Hypertension treatment. In chemistry and laboratory science, ICP stands for Inductively Coupled Plasma, a type of plasma source used in mass spectrometry and optical emission spectroscopy for analyzing metals. In business, ICP stands for Ideal Customer Profile and Ideal Client Profile. In internet technology, ICP stands for Internet Content Provider or Internet Cache Protocol. In law enforcement, ICP can stand for Incident Command Post. In education, ICP can stand for Individual Career Plan. In finance, ICP can stand for Interest Coverage Ratio? No. Other uses include Integrated Control Panel, Integrated Circuit Packaging, and in Canada, Integrated Correctional Program. Because of this wide variety, when you see ICP you need to consider the surrounding conversation to determine whether the speaker means the band, the furnace company, the medical pressure, or something else entirely.
