Why convert kilopascal to foot water (60°F)?

Converting kPa to foot water (60°F) helps express pressure in terms of hydrostatic head, useful for HVAC draft measurements, fluid systems, and manometer readings.

Is the foot water (60°F) unit temperature dependent?

Yes, the foot water (60°F) unit is based on water at 60°F; deviations in temperature can influence the pressure value represented.

Can I use this conversion for high-pressure applications?

No, foot water (60°F) units are suited for low-pressure ranges; high-pressure measurements are best handled with kilopascal or other SI units.

Key Terminology

Kilopascal (kPa): A derived SI unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, representing force per unit area; commonly used in engineering and meteorology.
Foot Water (60°F) [ftAq]: A pressure unit equal to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a 1-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity, used for low-pressure fluid measurements.
Hydrostatic Pressure: Pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity, often measured as the pressure from a water column height.
