What is a micropascal used for?

Micropascal quantifies very small pressure variations, often used for acoustic (sound) pressure levels and underwater acoustic measurements.

Where is centimeter water (4°C) commonly applied?

It is used in medical and laboratory contexts to express small pressures, such as airway pressures in respiratory care and hydrostatic pressures in labs.

Is the conversion exact between micropascal and centimeter water?

The conversion is approximate because micropascal measures very small acoustic pressures, whereas centimeter water relates to hydrostatic pressures depending on water density at 4°C.
