Why does Inch water pressure specify temperature like 60°F?

Because water density varies with temperature, specifying 60°F ensures the pressure measurement accurately reflects the hydrostatic pressure of water at that temperature.

Is Gram-force per square centimeter an SI unit?

No, Gram-force per square centimeter is a non-SI unit based on gravitational force and is used mainly in legacy and specialized applications.

Can I use this conversion for high-precision laboratory measurements?

Due to unit rounding and gravitational force definitions, this conversion tool may have precision limitations and should be used cautiously in high-accuracy contexts.
