Why is inch water specified at 60°F?

Because water density changes with temperature, inch water pressure is standardized at 60°F to ensure consistent measurement.

Where is poundal/square foot still used?

It is used mainly in legacy FPS engineering calculations, academic problems, and converting historical pressure data.

Can I use this converter for high-pressure values?

This tool is designed for low-pressure conversions commonly needed in HVAC and fluid flow applications.
