What does 1 inch water (4°C) represent?

It represents the pressure from a 1-inch column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, used for precise low-pressure measurements.

Why convert inch water pressure to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter?

Converting allows matching low-pressure readings with stress or strength measurements in engineering fields that use gravitational metric units.

Is kilogram-force per square millimeter an SI unit?

No, kilogram-force per square millimeter is a non-SI gravitational pressure unit commonly found in older technical literature.
