Why do we need to convert between foot water at 60°F and 4°C?

Because water density varies with temperature, converting ensures pressure values reflect the appropriate density reference for accurate hydraulic head and low-pressure measurements.

Can this tool be used for pressures not related to water columns?

No, this conversion specifically applies to hydrostatic pressure expressed as a column of pure water at the given temperatures.

Does this tool account for local variations in gravity?

No, the conversion assumes standard gravity and does not adjust for local gravity differences which can influence pressure readings.

Key Terminology

Foot water (60°F) [ftAq]: A pressure unit representing the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.
Foot water (4°C) [ftAq]: A pressure unit representing the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of pure water at 4°C, often used as the standard reference density for water.
Hydrostatic Pressure: Pressure exerted by a fluid at rest due to the force of gravity acting on its mass.
