What does one pascal represent?

One pascal is the SI derived pressure unit defined as one newton of force uniformly distributed over an area of one square meter (1 Pa = 1 N/m²).

Why use inch water (4°C) for pressure measurements?

Inch water (4°C) is ideal for measuring low pressures with fine resolution, commonly in HVAC systems, filters, and laboratory equipment.

Is the conversion affected by temperature variations?

Yes, the inch water unit is standardized at 4 °C to maintain consistency; deviations in temperature can affect the pressure measurement slightly.
