What does inch mercury (32°F) measure?

Inch mercury (32°F) measures pressure based on the force exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 32°F under standard gravity.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. foot mainly used?

Ton-force (short)/sq. foot is commonly used in specifying floor load limits, bearing pressures, and contact pressures in civil and industrial engineering.

Can I use this tool for aviation pressure conversions?

Yes, since inch mercury (32°F) is used in meteorology and aviation, this tool supports converting those pressures to units used in engineering contexts.
