What is a centipascal?

A centipascal (cPa) is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to one hundredth of a pascal, used to measure very small pressure differences.

What does foot water (60°F) pressure represent?

It represents the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Why convert cPa to foot water (60°F)?

Converting allows understanding of small scientific pressure readings in terms of hydrostatic pressures common in HVAC and fluid systems.
