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

Because the density of water varies with temperature, the inch water unit is specified at 60°F to ensure consistent pressure measurements.

What is the picopascal used for?

The picopascal is used to measure extremely small pressures, often in scientific fields like vacuum research, space exploration, and high-precision instrumentation.

Can this converter be used for general pressure measurements?

This converter is best suited for applications involving very low pressures or where detailed SI units are required, especially in scientific or engineering contexts.
