Why is the water temperature specified as 60°F for these units?

The units depend on water density, which varies with temperature, so specifying 60°F ensures consistent and standard pressure values.

Can I use this conversion for high-pressure measurements?

No, this conversion is intended for low-pressure, hydrostatic measurements and is not suitable for high-pressure or non-hydrostatic systems.

What is the conversion rate between foot water and inch water at 60°F?

1 foot water (60°F) is equal to 12 inch water (60°F).

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure the water temperature is 60°F when using these units for accuracy
Use correct unit selections to avoid conversion errors
For low-pressure ranges, rely on these units for greater measurement precision
Be aware of local gravity variations as they can affect conversion slightly
Confirm fluid purity to maintain accurate pressure readings

Limitations

Applicable only when water temperature is 60°F due to density changes with temperature
Not suitable for high-pressure or non-hydrostatic pressure systems
Accuracy may be affected by local variations in gravity and fluid purity

Key Terminology

Foot water (60°F) [ftAq]: A pressure unit based on the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of water at 60°F under standard gravity, used for low-pressure measurements.
Inch water (60°F) [inAq]: A pressure unit equal to the hydrostatic pressure of a 1-inch column of water at 60°F, used for measuring very small pressure differences.
Hydrostatic Pressure: Pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity.
