Why convert from gram-force/sq. centimeter to foot water (60°F)?

This conversion helps translate older gravitational force–based measurements into hydrostatic pressure units used in modern applications involving water-column pressures.

Is foot water (60°F) a standard SI unit?

No, foot water (60°F) is a specialized pressure unit tied to the hydrostatic pressure of water at 60°F, used mainly for low-pressure fluid and gas measurements.

Can temperature changes affect the foot water (60°F) pressure value?

Yes, since this unit depends on water density at 60°F, variations in temperature can slightly alter the pressure equivalence.
