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

It is the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-inch column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, commonly used for measuring small pressure differences.

Why convert inch water to kilonewton per square meter?

Because kilonewton per square meter is an SI unit widely used in engineering and scientific contexts, converting helps standardize pressure readings.

Can I use this conversion for pressures measured at temperatures other than 4°C?

The inch water unit is defined at 4 °C, so variations in temperature can affect the conversion accuracy.
