What is Foot water (60°F) [ftAq]?

It is a pressure unit representing the hydrostatic pressure from a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity, commonly used for low-pressure measurements.

Why use Gram-force per square centimeter instead of pascals?

Gram-force/sq. centimeter is a legacy non-SI pressure unit based on gravitational force, often used in older standards and specific laboratory or material testing contexts.

Is this conversion suitable for all pressure ranges?

No, it is designed for low-pressure ranges and may not provide accurate results for high-pressure applications.
