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

It represents the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of pure water at 4 °C under standard gravity, typically used for measuring very small hydrostatic pressures.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. inch commonly used?

This unit is commonly used to describe large compressive pressures in forging, stamping, press tooling, and mechanical/hydraulic press equipment.

Why are the converted values often very small?

Because millimeter water (4°C) measures very low pressures and ton-force (short)/sq. inch measures very high pressures, the conversion factor results in very small decimal values.

Offers easy conversion using a precise conversion factor.
Browser-based tool suitable for engineers, technicians, and students.
Includes practical examples to demonstrate the conversion.

Examples

Converting 1000 millimeter water (4°C) results in approximately 0.00071115 ton-force (short)/sq. inch.
Converting 5000 millimeter water (4°C) equals about 0.00355737 ton-force (short)/sq. inch.

Common Use Cases

Measuring very low pressures in HVAC static pressure and cleanroom differentials.
Calibrating and specifying low-range pressure sensors in laboratory settings.
Determining small pressure drops across filters and plumbing systems.
Specifying compressive or contact pressures in forging, stamping, and punch/die operations.
Describing bearing pressures and contact pressures in press tooling.
Expressing pressure capacity for hydraulic presses and clamps in industrial data sheets.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when translating small hydrostatic pressures into industrial-scale pressure units.
Be mindful that the conversion often results in very small decimal values due to the difference in unit magnitude.
Double-check units before using pressure values in engineering calculations.
Understand the context of measurement, whether for low-pressure sensor calibration or high-pressure industrial processes.

Limitations

The units represent vastly different pressure ranges; millimeter water (4°C) is for very low pressures, while ton-force (short)/sq. inch is for very high pressures.
Conversions yield very small decimal numbers which may require careful precision handling.
Direct practical overlaps of these units are limited due to their differing applications.
