What does ounce per cubic foot measure?

It is a measure of mass density indicating how many ounces of a substance occupy one cubic foot of volume.

Why convert ounce/cubic foot to psi/1000 feet?

Converting helps relate mass density values to hydrostatic pressure gradients, important in wellbore pressure and drilling calculations.

Can this conversion be used for all fluids?

The conversion assumes typical conditions; factors like temperature and fluid compressibility can affect accuracy.
