What is a centipascal (cPa)?

The centipascal is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to one hundredth of a pascal, used for very small pressure differences in scientific and engineering fields.

Why convert centipascal to centimeter water (4°C)?

Converting to centimeter water (4°C) provides pressure values in a hydrostatic unit commonly used in medical and laboratory environments, facilitating easier understanding and application.

Can temperature affect my conversion results?

Yes, since centimeter water (4°C) is based on water density at 4°C, variations in temperature or water purity can influence accuracy.
