What is kilogram-force per square millimeter used for?

It is used to measure pressure or stress in materials testing and mechanical engineering, such as reporting tensile or yield strength of metals.

Why is inch water (60°F) specified by temperature?

Because the density of water varies with temperature, inch water (60°F) specifies pressure based on water column height at 60 °F for accuracy.

Can I use this converter for fluids other than water?

No, inch water units specifically apply to hydrostatic pressure of water at 60°F and are not suitable for other fluids or temperature conditions.
