What does one newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equal to one pascal, representing force applied perpendicular per unit area.

What is foot water (60°F) used for?

It expresses hydrostatic pressure produced by a 1-foot column of water at 60°F and is used in low-pressure measurements in HVAC, hydraulics, and labs.

Can this conversion be used for high-pressure systems?

No, this unit is primarily intended for low-pressure contexts as high-pressure conversions may be impractical.

Key Features

Converts pressure units from newton per square meter to foot water (60°F) [ftAq]
Based on the hydrostatic pressure of a 1-foot water column at 60°F under standard gravity
Useful for low-pressure measurements relevant in HVAC, hydraulics, and laboratory settings
Browser-based and easy to use without installations

Examples

Convert 1000 newtons per square meter to foot water (60°F): 1000 × 0.0003348832 = 0.3348832 ftAq
Convert 500 newtons per square meter to foot water (60°F): 500 × 0.0003348832 = 0.1674416 ftAq

Common Use Cases

Measuring duct and filter pressure loss in HVAC systems
Assessing small pump pressures and hydraulic head in water systems
Specifying gas pressure in regulators and leak testing
Performing laboratory manometer readings for low-pressure fluids

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure pressure values are within the low-pressure range suitable for foot water units
Consider temperature consistency since foot water unit is specific to 60°F water density
Use this conversion for hydrostatic or head-related pressure measurements for accuracy
Avoid applying this unit conversion for high-pressure measurements where impractical

Limitations

Foot water unit depends on water temperature fixed at 60°F, affecting pressure accuracy
Best suited for low-pressure or hydrostatic measurements rather than high pressures
Local gravity variations or water impurities can slightly change pressure equivalence
