Why is Inch water pressure specified at 60°F?

Because water density changes with temperature, specifying 60°F ensures consistent pressure definitions based on the hydrostatic pressure of a 1-inch column of water at that temperature.

What is a centipascal used for?

Centipascal is used to express very small pressure values in scientific and engineering measurements, ideal for monitoring slight pressure differences.

Can this converter be used for other temperature references in Inch water?

No, this tool is specifically designed for Inch water at 60°F; other temperatures require different considerations due to density changes.
