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

It is a pressure unit defined by applying one short ton-force over one square foot, equivalent to roughly 2000 pound-force per square foot.

Why is inch water (60°F) temperature specific?

Because the pressure measurement depends on the density of water which changes with temperature, specifying 60°F ensures consistent results.

When would I need to convert from ton-force (short)/sq. foot to inch water?

Conversions are useful to link heavy load pressures from structural or machine contexts to low pressure measurements used in HVAC, gas service, and instrumentation.
