Can this be used to help me determine calculations for concrete footings?

No. For footings you need to know the soil density from a sample or blow count. This gives penetration resistance.

What is the fill liquid? Do you need to worry about it freezing?

Dear Jerod, Thank you for contacting us. Please note that the liquid is a food grade silicon oil. It should not freeze. Thank you and have a great day! Best regards, Emilia
