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

It is the hydrostatic pressure caused by a 1-inch column of pure water at 4°C under standard gravity, roughly equal to 249 pascals.

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

To translate precise low-pressure measurements commonly used in HVAC and labs into a unit widely used for atmospheric and meteorological pressure readings.

Is millibar the same as hectopascal?

Yes, the millibar is numerically identical to the hectopascal and is widely used in weather maps and forecasts.
