What is Standard atmosphere used for?

It serves as a reference pressure in chemical thermodynamics, laboratory gas measurements, and ambient or depth-related pressure descriptions.

Where is Foot water (60°F) commonly applied?

It is used in HVAC, building ventilation, pump and filter pressure measurements, and small gas or fluid pressure regulation.

Why might conversion accuracy vary?

Variations in water temperature or gravity can impact the Foot water pressure unit, and instrument sensitivity should be considered.
