What are Bar and Foot

A 'bar' is a unit of pressure defined as 100 kilopascals. It is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. One bar can also be described as 100,000 pascals, and it is not part of the International System of Units (SI). However, because of its close approximation to atmospheric pressure, it is widely used in meteorology and for industrial pressure measurements.

A 'foot', or foot-water (ftH2O), is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a one-foot-high column of water at a specific temperature, usually 60 degrees Fahrenheit. One foot of water is approximately equal to 0.433 psi (pounds per square inch). This unit is commonly used in the United States for measuring pressures in hydraulic systems, plumbing, and underwater engineering.

History of Bar and Foot

Initially, the bar was used as a unit of pressure measurement due to its approximation to atmospheric pressure. Over time, the foot-water unit, based on the height of a column of water at 60°F, became a standard for hydraulic and engineering applications, leading to the need for a Bar to Foot Water 60 Degree Fahrenheit Converter.
