What does Inch mercury (60°F) measure?

It is a pressure unit that reflects the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 60°F, used commonly in atmospheric and vacuum pressure measurements.

Why use Inch water (4°C) for pressure?

Inch water at 4°C measures low pressures with fine resolution, suitable for HVAC, filter monitoring, and precise laboratory measurements.

Can the conversion be affected by temperature changes?

Yes, since the conversion assumes standard temperature and gravity conditions, variations in these can lead to minor inaccuracies.
