Key Terminology
-
Foot water (60°F) [ftAq]
-
A pressure unit equal to the hydrostatic pressure of a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.
-
Decipascal [dPa]
-
A derived SI unit of pressure equal to one tenth of a pascal, used for measuring very small pressure magnitudes.
-
Hydrostatic Pressure
-
The pressure exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity at a given depth.
