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

It is a pressure unit based on the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Where is Ton-force (short)/sq. foot commonly used?

It is used in specifying deck loading limits, bearing pressures in engineering, and load pressures for heavy machinery.

Why consider temperature when converting Foot water (60°F) measurements?

Because water density varies with temperature, affecting the hydrostatic pressure measurement accuracy.
