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

It measures hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Why convert to ton-force (long)/square inch?

To interpret pressure data in legacy British engineering contexts and historical machinery specifications.

Is ton-force (long)/square inch commonly used today?

No, it is largely a legacy unit replaced by SI pressure units in modern practice.
