Why is inch water measured specifically at 4 °C?

Because water density at 4 °C is standard and stable, inch water is based on this temperature to provide consistent low-pressure measurements.

Can I use this converter for high-pressure measurements?

No, inch water is intended for low-pressure ranges; for high pressure, pascal or larger units like kPa or MPa are more appropriate.

Does this conversion consider changes in gravitational acceleration?

The conversion assumes standard gravity; differences in local gravity can cause slight variations.
