What does kilogram-force/sq. cm measure?

It measures pressure as a force of one kilogram-force uniformly applied over one square centimeter.

Why is millimeter water (4°C) used for low pressure?

Because it represents the hydrostatic pressure of a 1 mm column of water at 4 °C, it's suitable for very small pressure measurements.

Can I use this conversion for all temperatures?

Millimeter water (4°C) is valid primarily near 4 °C; outside this, water density changes affect accuracy.

Is kilogram-force/sq. cm an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit often found in older or regional engineering contexts.

What industries commonly use this unit conversion?

Hydraulic engineering, HVAC, laboratory calibration, and fluid mechanics fields frequently use this conversion.
