What does foot water (60°F) represent in pressure measurement?

Foot water (60°F) expresses the pressure exerted by a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity, typically used for low-pressure measurements.

Why convert foot water (60°F) to hectopascal?

Converting to hectopascal enables expressing hydrostatic or low-pressure heads in a widely recognized metric unit suitable for weather, aviation, and scientific use.

Can this tool be used for high-pressure conversions?

No, foot water (60°F) is best suited for low-pressure and hydrostatic situations and is less appropriate for high-pressure industrial conversions.
