What does an inch water (4°C) measure?

It measures hydrostatic pressure produced by a one-inch column of water at 4 degrees Celsius under standard gravity.

Why use centipascal for pressure measurements?

Centipascal is useful for expressing very small pressures or differences, often needed in scientific and sensitive engineering measurements.

Can I use this conversion for high-pressure systems?

This conversion is primarily for low-pressure and fine-resolution measurements and may not be appropriate for large-scale or high-pressure scenarios.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure values from inch water (4°C), symbolized as inAq, to the centipascal (cPa), an SI-derived unit. Inch water (4°C) represents the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-inch water column at 4 degrees Celsius under standard gravity. Centipascal measures very small pressure differences useful in scientific and engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in inch water (4°C) you want to convert.
Select inch water (4°C) as the source unit and centipascal as the target unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent pressure in centipascal.
Use converted values for fine resolution pressure analysis.

Key Features

Converts inch water (4°C) to centipascal with precise unit translation.
Ideal for low-pressure measurement scenarios.
Supports scientific, HVAC, and laboratory pressure unit needs.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.

Examples

2 inAq equals 49816.4 cPa by multiplying 2 × 24908.2.
0.5 inAq converts to 12454.1 cPa using 0.5 × 24908.2.

Common Use Cases

Measuring static and differential pressures in HVAC ducting and ventilation.
Monitoring pressure drops across filters, strainers, and cleanroom equipment.
Testing low-pressure gas lines and burner manifolds.
Calibrating sensitive differential-pressure sensors in laboratories and cleanrooms.
Reporting microfluidic and low-pressure gas-flow experiments.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input pressure values correspond to water density at 4 °C for accuracy.
Use this conversion when fine resolution pressure measurement is required.
Be mindful of significant figures due to the small scale of centipascal.
Apply this tool mostly for small pressure differentials rather than large pressure scales.

Limitations

Inch water (4°C) assumes water at exactly 4 °C; temperature changes affect result accuracy.
Centipascal represents very small pressures; instrument sensitivity matters.
Conversion may be overly precise for larger pressure measurements.
