Why is Inch Water measured at 60°F?

Because water density varies with temperature, specifying 60°F standardizes the pressure measurement based on that specific water density.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than water?

No, this conversion applies only to water columns at 60°F; other fluids require different density considerations.

What industries commonly use Inch Water to Megapascal conversions?

Industries like HVAC engineering, residential gas supply, material testing, mechanical and civil engineering commonly rely on this conversion.
