What does foot water (60°F) measure?

Foot water (60°F) measures hydrostatic pressure exerted by a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Why would I convert to dyne per square centimeter?

Converting to dyne per square centimeter is useful for scientific contexts using CGS units, such as in laboratory experiments and legacy data comparisons.

Is this conversion affected by temperature changes?

Yes, since foot water pressure is temperature-dependent at 60°F, variations in water temperature can impact conversion accuracy.
