Why is the inch water unit specified at 60°F?

Because water density changes with temperature, specifying 60°F ensures consistent pressure measurement based on water's hydrostatic pressure at that temperature.

What does ksi stand for and where is it used?

Ksi stands for kilopound per square inch, commonly used in materials and structural engineering to express stress or strength values.

Can I use this conversion for everyday pressure measurements?

This conversion is mostly analytical because inch water measures small pressures, and ksi measures very high stresses, so direct practical conversions are uncommon.
