What is an inch water (4°C)?

An inch water (4°C) is the pressure exerted by a 1-inch column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, used for measuring small pressure differences.

Why convert inch water (4°C) to dyne per square centimeter?

Conversion helps express low-pressure measurements in CGS units, which is useful for legacy scientific comparison or specific laboratory experiments.

Are dyne per square centimeter units still commonly used?

This unit is largely obsolete in modern SI unit systems but remains relevant in some scientific fields and historical data evaluation.
