What does inch water (4°C) measure?

It measures hydrostatic pressure exerted by a 1-inch column of water at 4 °C under standard gravity, used mainly for fine low-pressure measurements.

Why convert inch water (4°C) to kilopascal?

Converting to kilopascal standardizes pressure values in SI units, facilitating consistent communication and application in engineering and meteorology.

Are there accuracy concerns with this conversion?

Yes, because inch water is temperature and gravity-dependent, changes in these conditions can cause slight inaccuracies in the converted value.
