What does foot water (4°C) measure?

It measures the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a 1-foot-high column of pure water at 4°C, often used for low pressure or hydraulic head measurements.

What is a terapascal used for?

The terapascal quantifies extremely large pressures found in high-pressure physics, shock compression experiments, and planetary interior models.

Why convert foot water (4°C) to terapascal?

Converting allows comparison of low-pressure fluid measurements with very high-pressure units for applications in geophysics, planetary science, and materials research.
