What does an inch water (4°C) measure?

It measures the hydrostatic pressure from a 1-inch column of water at 4°C under standard gravity, mainly used for detecting low pressures.

Why convert inch water to standard atmosphere?

Converting to standard atmosphere allows for a common benchmark in scientific and engineering contexts, aiding comparisons with atmospheric pressure.

Can this conversion be used for high-pressure measurements?

No. Inch water (4°C) units are suitable only for low-pressure applications and may not be practical for high-pressure scenarios.
