What does 1 centimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

It is a pressure unit defined by the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-centimeter mercury column at 0°C under standard gravity.

Why convert pressure from centimeter mercury to inch water?

Converting allows translating higher pressure mercury readings to finer low-pressure units used in HVAC, laboratory, and gas line applications.

Are there conditions where this conversion is inaccurate?

Yes, differences in temperature and fluid density from standard conditions may affect pressure equivalence and accuracy.
