What does 1 kip-force/square inch represent?

It is the pressure produced by one kip-force over one square inch area, equal to 1,000 pounds-force per square inch, commonly used in structural engineering.

Why use inch water (4°C) units?

Inch water (4°C) is a small pressure unit used for precise low-pressure measurements such as in HVAC systems and laboratory experiments.

Can this converter be used outside standard gravity conditions?

No, inch water units are defined at 4°C and standard gravity; variations in temperature or gravity can affect conversion accuracy.
