Why is inch water pressure specified at 60°F?

Because water density changes with temperature, inch water at 60°F provides a consistent reference for measuring small pressure differences.

In which fields is newton/square centimeter commonly used?

It is commonly used in materials testing and mechanical engineering for evaluating stress on small specimens.

Can I use this converter for high-pressure measurements?

This converter is designed for small to low pressure ranges, and high-pressure use may not be appropriate due to unit differences.

Key Terminology

Newton/square centimeter: A pressure unit representing one newton of force uniformly applied over an area of one square centimeter; it equals 10,000 pascals (10 kPa).
Inch water (60°F) [inAq]: A pressure unit equal to the hydrostatic pressure from a one-inch water column at 60°F, used to measure very small pressure differences.
Hydrostatic pressure: Pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the force of gravity.
