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

It measures the hydrostatic pressure from a 1 mm column of pure water at 4°C under standard gravity, representing very small pressures.

Why convert millimeter water (4°C) to newton/square millimeter?

Conversion helps relate low hydrostatic pressures to standard mechanical stress units used in engineering and material strength assessments.

Is this conversion suitable for high-pressure applications?

No, this conversion is mainly for low-pressure ranges; using it for high pressures is impractical due to large scale differences.
