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

It represents the hydrostatic pressure caused by a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under normal gravity conditions.

In which applications is psi commonly used?

Psi is widely used in automotive tire pressure, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and compressed-gas cylinder pressure measurements.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than water?

No, the conversion is valid only for water at 60°F since different fluids or temperatures alter pressure values.
