What is foot water (60°F) [ftAq] used for?

It is used to express low-pressure differentials in HVAC, fluid measurements, and hydraulic head evaluations under specific temperature conditions.

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

Converting to pascals standardizes pressure measurements into the SI unit, facilitating easier comparison and use in engineering and scientific contexts.

Are conversions accurate for all water temperatures?

No, the conversion assumes the water is at 60°F (15.556°C), and deviations may result in less accurate pressure values.
