Why is inch mercury defined at 60°F?

Inch mercury (60°F) is based on the hydrostatic pressure of a mercury column at 60°F to provide consistent calibration and reporting standards.

When should I use millimeter water (4°C) as a pressure unit?

Millimeter water (4°C) is used for measuring very small pressures such as those in HVAC systems, laboratory experiments, and cleanroom differentials.

Can I use this conversion for extremely high pressures?

Due to large scale differences, conversions at extreme pressures may require caution and consideration of instrument accuracy.
