What is ton-force (long)/square inch?

It is a legacy Imperial pressure unit representing the force of one long ton applied over one square inch.

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

Centimeter water (4°C) is used for expressing small pressure differences, especially in medical and laboratory settings.

Can this tool convert any pressure units besides ton-force (long)/square inch to centimeter water (4°C)?

This tool specifically focuses on converting between ton-force (long)/square inch and centimeter water (4°C) units.

Reporting respiratory pressures in clinical environments

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure standard conditions at 4°C when interpreting centimeter water pressures
Use this tool to convert large, legacy pressure values into manageable smaller units
Verify units carefully to maintain consistency in engineering and medical documentation
Understand that centimeter water is suitable for small pressures, so large converted values might appear extensive

Limitations

Ton-force (long)/square inch is a large, legacy unit not ideal for direct low-pressure measurements
Centimeter water (4°C) reflects pressures at standard temperature and fluid properties, which affects accuracy
Converting very large pressures results in very large numbers that can be cumbersome
The tool does not adjust for temperature or fluid variations beyond the 4°C standard
