Why is kilogram-force per square centimeter considered a non-SI unit?

Because it is based on the force exerted by a mass under Earth's gravity and area in centimeters squared, it does not conform to the SI system which standardizes units around meters, kilograms, and seconds.

What is inch water (60°F) [inAq] used for?

It measures very small pressure differences, often found in HVAC duct pressure drops, gas service pressures, and cleanroom ventilation controls.

Can this conversion be used regardless of temperature?

No, since inch water pressure depends on water density, which changes with temperature, this conversion assumes a water temperature of 60°F for accuracy.

Based on precise conversion multiplier provided for accurate translation
Supports engineering and industrial legacy documentation needs
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation
Includes practical examples for quick reference

Examples

2 kilogram-force/sq. cm converts to approximately 788.1797 inch water (60°F)
0.5 kilogram-force/sq. cm equals about 197.0449 inch water (60°F)

Common Use Cases

Specifying hydraulic system pressures from older or regional engineering data
Measuring duct and filter pressure drops in HVAC systems
Setting residential gas service and regulator pressures
Reading manometer data and differential-pressure sensors for ventilation and cleanroom environments
Translating legacy pressures for compatibility with modern low-pressure measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the temperature specification of 60°F when interpreting inch water unit values
Use this conversion primarily for legacy or non-SI documentation to modern pressure units
Consider possible rounding effects when working with precise measurement needs
Confirm unit consistency when dealing with systems requiring strict SI compliance
Check your source pressures carefully to apply the correct conversion factor

Limitations

Accuracy depends on the water temperature being exactly 60°F since water density changes with temperature
Kilogram-force/sq. cm is a non-SI unit which may limit applicability in strictly SI-compliant contexts
Large conversion multiplier might introduce rounding errors in highly precise calculations
