What does Inch water (60°F) measure?

It measures pressure as the hydrostatic force from a 1-inch column of water at 60°F, commonly used for small pressure differences.

Why is Inch water unit temperature specified?

Temperature affects water density, so specifying 60°F ensures consistent pressure measurement based on that water density.

Where is Newton per square millimeter used?

It is used in materials engineering to express tensile strength and in mechanical design for stress and hydraulic pressure calculations.

Can I use this tool for high-pressure conversions?

No, Inch water (60°F) is for low pressures; conversion beyond normal ranges can lead to inaccuracies.
