What is centimeter mercury (0°C) used for?

It measures pressure based on a 1-centimeter mercury column at 0°C, commonly used in laboratory manometers and barometers.

Why convert from centimeter mercury to kip-force per square inch?

To translate low-to-moderate manometric pressures into high-stress units for structural and materials engineering analysis.

Is this conversion suitable for fluid dynamics applications?

No, this conversion is best for linking physical sensor data to structural design, not for high-precision fluid dynamics.
