What does one ton-force (long) per square foot represent?

It represents a pressure equivalent to one long ton-force applied over one square foot, specifically 2240 pounds-force per square foot.

Why use foot water (60°F) [ftAq] for pressure measurements?

Because it expresses hydrostatic pressure from a one-foot column of water at 60°F, making it useful for low-pressure and fluid-related readings.

Can I convert ton-force (long)/square foot directly to pascals?

Yes, one ton-force (long)/square foot is approximately equal to 1.07252×10^5 pascals.
