What does a millimeter water (4°C) represent?

It represents the hydrostatic pressure from a 1 mm column of pure water at 4°C under standard gravity.

Why is micropascal used for pressure measurements?

Micropascal quantifies very small pressure levels, commonly used in acoustic applications such as sound pressure levels.

Can this converter be used for high-pressure measurements?

No, it is intended for converting very small pressures between millimeter water (4°C) and micropascal units.
