What is an inch water (4°C) unit?

It is a pressure unit based on the pressure exerted by a 1-inch column of pure water at 4°C under standard gravity, commonly used for low-pressure measurements.

Why convert inch water to nanopascal?

Converting to nanopascal allows precise representation of extremely small pressures useful in scientific research, vacuum technology, and space physics.

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

The inch water unit is standardized at 4°C, so conversions may be less accurate if input pressures were measured at other temperatures.
