Why are the temperature references different for these units?

Millimeter mercury is defined at 0°C while inch water is defined at 4°C, reflecting the standard conditions under which each unit is measured, which can cause slight conversion differences.

What are common applications for inch water (4°C) units?

Inch water (4°C) is often used for low-pressure measurements such as in HVAC systems, filter monitoring, and sensitive laboratory manometer readings.

Can I use this converter for high-pressure measurements?

This tool is primarily suited for moderate to low-pressure conversions; extremely high pressures may require different units and measurement methods.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool when precise low-pressure readings are required in engineering or medical contexts
Ensure you understand the different reference conditions of the units (0°C vs. 4°C)
Apply conversions when working with standard gravity and pure water conditions for best consistency
Verify units carefully to avoid errors in critical measurements

Limitations

The slight temperature difference between unit definitions (0°C vs. 4°C) can cause minor discrepancies
Significant scale differences exist because mercury and water have very different densities
Assumes standard gravity and pure water, so environmental factors may influence results
Not suitable for non-standard or highly variable pressure measurement conditions
