What does the decipascal measure?

The decipascal (dPa) is a derived SI unit measuring pressure, mainly used for small pressure magnitudes such as sound pressure levels and precise laboratory conditions.

How is the foot water (60°F) unit defined?

Foot water (60°F) [ftAq] is defined as the pressure exerted by a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Can this conversion be used for all pressure ranges?

This conversion is intended for very small pressure values and low-pressure differentials common in specialized fields like HVAC and fluid dynamics, but variations in temperature and gravity can impact accuracy.
