What does kilogram-force per square centimeter measure?

It measures pressure as the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.

Why use inch water (4°C) as a pressure unit?

It is used for measuring very low pressures where fine resolution is required, such as in HVAC systems and laboratories.

Can this converter be used for all pressure measurement needs?

This tool is specialized for converting kilogram-force/sq. cm to inch water (4°C) and is best for hydraulic, HVAC, and sensitive low-pressure applications.
