Foot Water (4°c)

Foot water (4°C), symbol ftAq, is a unit of pressure representing the height of a water column at 4°C that exerts a specific pressure.

History/Origin

The foot water (4°C) has been used historically in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in water-related applications, as an alternative to other pressure units like inches of water or meters of water. Its usage dates back to traditional measurements in hydraulic and civil engineering.

Current Use

Today, foot water (4°C) is primarily used in specialized fields such as hydrology, water management, and engineering to measure low pressures, particularly in systems involving water flow and pressure head calculations.


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.
