Convert inch water (60°F) to ton-force (short)/sq. foot
Please provide values below to convert inch water (60°F) [inAq] to ton-force (short)/sq. foot [tonf (US)/ft^2], or Convert ton-force (short)/sq. foot to inch water (60°F).
How to Convert Inch Water (60°f) to Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Foot
1 inAq = 0.00259856572730677 tonf (US)/ft^2
Example: convert 15 inAq to tonf (US)/ft^2:
15 inAq = 15 × 0.00259856572730677 tonf (US)/ft^2 = 0.0389784859096015 tonf (US)/ft^2

Inch Water (60°f)
Inch water (60°F), symbol inAq, is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a pressure equivalent to one inch of water column.
History/Origin
The inch water unit originated in the United States as a practical measurement for low-pressure applications, particularly in HVAC and fluid systems, based on the height of a water column. Its use has been standardized in various industries for measuring small pressure differences.
Current Use
It is currently used in fields such as HVAC, pneumatic systems, and low-pressure fluid measurements to quantify small pressure differences, especially in the United States.
Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Foot
Ton-force per square foot (tonf/ft²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square foot originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily in engineering and construction contexts, to measure pressure or stress levels. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in specific industries.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units such as pascals. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to structural and material stress assessments.
