What does kilogram-force per square meter measure?

Kilogram-force per square meter measures pressure as the force exerted by one kilogram-force spread uniformly over an area of one square meter.

Why is Inch water (60°F) a temperature-specific unit?

Because the density of water changes with temperature, the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water depends on maintaining the temperature at 60°F for accuracy.

In which fields is converting from kgf/m² to inch water (60°F) commonly used?

This conversion is common in HVAC system design, residential gas regulation, cleanroom environmental control, and interpreting legacy industrial pressure data.
