What is millimeter water (4°C) used for?

It is used to measure very low pressure levels, commonly in HVAC systems, cleanrooms, and laboratory settings where small hydrostatic head measurements are needed.

Can I use this tool for high-pressure conversions?

No, millimeter water (4°C) is suitable only for low-pressure ranges and may not provide accurate results at higher pressures.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure that measurements in millimeter water are taken with the water temperature at 4°C for accuracy
Use this tool primarily for low-pressure ranges where millimeter water units are appropriate
Remember that the standard atmosphere is a fixed value and does not account for atmospheric variations
Verify calibration conditions when using converted values for scientific experiments or sensor setup

Limitations

Millimeter water (4°C) is designed for very low pressure measurements and may be inaccurate at higher pressures
Standard atmosphere unit is a constant reference and does not reflect current atmospheric changes
The conversion depends on maintaining standard gravity and precise water temperature at 4°C
