What does kilogram-force per square millimeter represent?

It is a unit of pressure that equals the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter, commonly used in mechanical and materials testing.

Where is foot water (60°F) pressure mainly used?

Foot water (60°F) is primarily used for measuring low-pressure hydrostatic heads, such as in HVAC, fluid mechanics, and laboratory manometer readings.

Can this converter be used for all pressure ranges?

No, kilogram-force/sq. millimeter is intended for high-pressure measurements, while foot water is suitable for low-pressure applications.
