Convert inch water (60°F) to ton-force (short)/sq. inch
Please provide values below to convert inch water (60°F) [inAq] to ton-force (short)/sq. inch [tonf (US)/in^2], or Convert ton-force (short)/sq. inch to inch water (60°F).
How to Convert Inch Water (60°f) to Ton-Force (Short)/sq. Inch
1 inAq = 1.80455953288333e-05 tonf (US)/in^2
Example: convert 15 inAq to tonf (US)/in^2:
15 inAq = 15 × 1.80455953288333e-05 tonf (US)/in^2 = 0.000270683929932499 tonf (US)/in^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. Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force per square inch originated from the use of the ton-force as a unit of force in the Imperial system, primarily for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts. It has been used historically in fields such as material testing and hydraulic systems.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by the more standard unit of pressure, the pound per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy documents or specific industrial applications where imperial units are preferred.
