What does kip-force/square inch represent?

It is a high-pressure unit equal to one kip-force over one square inch, commonly used in structural and materials engineering.

Why is centimeter water (4°C) used in medical fields?

Because it expresses small pressures like airway and ventilator pressures, making it suitable for respiratory and laboratory applications.

Can I use this conversion for all pressure ranges?

No, kip-force/square inch is for very high pressures while centimeter water (4°C) is best for low pressures, so conversions involving very high pressures can result in large numbers and may have limited precision.
