What does 1 ton-force (short)/sq. foot represent?

It represents the pressure from one short ton-force (2000 lbf) applied over one square foot, approximately 95,760.5 pascals.

Why use inch water (4°C) for pressure measurements?

Inch water (4°C) is used to measure small pressures with fine resolution, especially in HVAC and sensitive industrial applications.

Can environmental factors affect the conversion?

Yes, the inch water unit is based on water density at 4°C and standard gravity; deviations may require corrections.
