Discover how to effortlessly transform atmospheric pressure (atm) to the hydraulic head in feet of water at 60°F (ftH2O) with our intuitive converter, designed to simplify your calculations.
A Standard Atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as being equal to the typical atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. It serves as a reference value for atmospheric pressure and is often used in the fields of aviation, engineering, and meteorology. Standard atmosphere is a model that averages pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity at various altitudes to provide a consistent measure for these variables.
Definition of Foot WaterFoot of Water (ftH2O) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted at the base of a column of water exactly one foot high with a specific gravity of 1, at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in the United States for measuring pressures in hydraulic systems, and in the field of civil engineering for measuring the pressure of water in pipes, wells, or reservoirs.
| Standard Atmosphere (atm) | Foot Water 60°F (ftH2O) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 atm | 2.31 ftH2O |
| 0.2 atm | 4.62 ftH2O |
| 0.3 atm | 6.93 ftH2O |
| 0.4 atm | 9.24 ftH2O |
| 0.5 atm | 11.55 ftH2O |
| 0.6 atm | 13.86 ftH2O |
| 0.7 atm | 16.17 ftH2O |
| 0.8 atm | 18.48 ftH2O |
| 0.9 atm | 20.79 ftH2O |
| 1.0 atm | 23.10 ftH2O |
1 atm = 33.456 ftH2O (approx)
1 ftH2O = 0.02989 atm (approx)
Example 1:
convert 1 atm to ftH2O:
1 atm = 33.456 ftH2O
Example 2:
convert 2 atm to ftH2O:
2 atm = 2 × 33.456 ftH2O = 66.912 ftH2O
The concept of Standard Atmosphere to Foot Water 60 Degree Fahrenheit conversion has its roots in the need to relate atmospheric pressure with hydraulic head, a common practice in hydrology and engineering. This conversion helps in various applications like designing pumping systems and understanding fluid dynamics under different pressure conditions.
