What does foot water (60°F) [ftAq] represent?

It is a pressure unit defined by the hydrostatic pressure from a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Why convert foot water (60°F) to newton per square centimeter?

Converting to newton per square centimeter allows pressure readings to be expressed in a unit commonly used for materials testing and mechanical engineering applications.

Are there any temperature considerations when using foot water (60°F)?

Yes, the pressure value depends on the temperature being exactly 60°F, so variations may affect measurement accuracy.
