What is a megapascal?

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one million pascals, used mainly to measure material strength and mechanical stress.

What does foot water (60°F) represent?

Foot water (60°F) is a pressure unit representing the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-foot column of water at 60°F under standard gravity.

Why convert from MPa to foot water (60°F)?

Converting allows translating high-pressure measurements into hydrostatic pressures suitable for HVAC, fluid systems, and laboratory applications.
