Why is the inch water unit specified at 60°F?

Because the density of water changes with temperature, inch water (60°F) defines pressure based on the hydrostatic pressure of a one-inch water column at approximately 60°F to maintain accuracy.

What is the pascal unit used for?

The pascal is the SI unit of pressure used to quantify pressure and mechanical stress in fluids and solids, commonly applied in meteorology, engineering, and physics.

Can this converter handle pressures at temperatures other than 60°F?

No, the conversion is strictly accurate at or near 60°F due to the temperature sensitivity of water density affecting inch water pressure values.
