What is a picopascal?

A picopascal is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to 10⁻¹² pascals, used to describe very low pressures in scientific and space environments.

Where is inch water (4°C) used?

Inch water (4°C) is used for low-pressure measurements, notably in HVAC systems, gas line testing, and sensitive laboratory instruments.

Why is converting between these units important?

Converting helps link ultra-low pressure scientific measurements to practical units applied in engineering and industrial settings.
