Why is 4°C important in these pressure units?

Both units use pure water at 4°C because it is the temperature where water reaches maximum density, ensuring consistent hydrostatic pressure calculations.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than water?

No, this conversion strictly applies to pure water columns under standard gravity at 4°C; other fluids need different conversion methods.

What are common applications of converting millimeter water to foot water?

Typical uses include pump head specifications, HVAC system calibration, groundwater pressure analysis, and laboratory experiments involving low hydrostatic pressures.
