What does one newton per square centimeter represent?

It represents a pressure where one newton of force is applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter.

Why is inch water measured at 4°C?

Because the hydrostatic pressure created by a water column varies with temperature, the inch water unit standardizes this at 4°C for consistency.

Can this conversion be used for high-pressure measurements?

No, inch water (4°C) is a small pressure unit mainly suited for low-pressure applications such as HVAC and sensitive laboratory measurements.
