What does 1 newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equivalent to one pascal, indicating force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area.

Why use millimeter water (4°C) as a pressure unit?

It represents very small pressures based on a column of water at 4 °C under standard gravity, ideal for sensitive low-pressure measurements.

Can this conversion be used for high-pressure applications?

No, millimeter water (4°C) is generally unsuitable for high-pressure scenarios due to its small pressure magnitude.
