What is an inch water (4°C)?

It is the pressure exerted by a 1-inch column of pure water at 4°C under standard gravity, commonly used for low-pressure measurements.

What does ton-force (short)/sq. foot represent?

It is a pressure unit equal to one short ton-force applied over one square foot, often used in structural load and engineering contexts.

Why convert inch water (4°C) to ton-force (short)/sq. foot?

This conversion helps translate fine low-pressure readings into heavier load and structural pressure units needed in engineering and industrial specifications.
