Convert inch water (60°F) to ton-force (long)/square foot
Please provide values below to convert inch water (60°F) [inAq] to ton-force (long)/square foot [tonf (UK)/ft^2], or Convert ton-force (long)/square foot to inch water (60°F).
How to Convert Inch Water (60°f) to Ton-Force (Long)/square Foot
1 inAq = 0.00232014797113843 tonf (UK)/ft^2
Example: convert 15 inAq to tonf (UK)/ft^2:
15 inAq = 15 × 0.00232014797113843 tonf (UK)/ft^2 = 0.0348022195670764 tonf (UK)/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 (Long)/square Foot
Ton-force (long) per square foot is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one long ton (2,240 pounds) distributed over one square foot.
History/Origin
This unit originated in the UK as a practical measure for engineering and industrial applications, combining the long ton (used primarily in the UK) with square foot to measure pressure in contexts such as structural and mechanical engineering.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square foot is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units like pascals. It may still appear in historical data, specialized fields, or regional contexts within the UK.
