Why is gram-force/sq. centimeter considered a non-SI unit?

Because it is based on gravitational force definitions and is not part of the International System of Units.

Why does inch water pressure depend on temperature?

Water density changes with temperature, so specifying inch water pressure at 60°F ensures standardized measurements.

In what contexts is this conversion especially useful?

It's valuable in HVAC, residential gas service, laboratory settings, and situations involving legacy pressure units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand the temperature dependence of inch water units when interpreting results.
Use this conversion when working with older or gravitational force-based pressure data.
Apply the tool for pressure measurements requiring clarity between legacy and temperature-specific units.

Limitations

Gram-force/sq. centimeter is not part of the SI system and assumes consistent gravitational acceleration, which can vary by location.
Inch water pressure units rely on water density at 60°F, so deviations in temperature affect accuracy.
High precision conversions should consider local gravity and temperature variations.
