What does kilogram-force per square millimeter measure?

It is a non-SI unit of pressure indicating one kilogram-force applied on an area of one square millimeter, often used in materials testing and engineering.

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

Centimeter water (4°C) measures small pressure values and is frequently used in medical and laboratory settings due to the known density of water at 4 degrees Celsius.

Can this converter be used for very high pressures?

While the tool can convert values, centimeter water (4°C) is generally suited for small pressures, and accuracy might be less reliable for very high pressures.
