What does ton-force (short)/sq. inch measure?

It measures pressure as a short ton-force applied uniformly over one square inch, commonly used in industrial press and tooling operations.

Where is foot water (60°F) pressure commonly used?

It is used for low-pressure fluid measurements such as hydrostatic pressure in HVAC, water filters, and laboratory manometers.

Why convert ton-force (short)/sq. inch to foot water (60°F)?

The conversion helps translate high mechanical pressures into hydrostatic pressure units useful in fluid dynamics and HVAC system analysis.
