This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from bar to millimeters of water column (mmWC), which is useful in various instrumentation and process control applications.
Definition: Bar
A bar is a metric unit of pressure, defined as 100,000 Pascals. It is not an SI unit, but it is widely used in various industries, especially in meteorology and engineering.
Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)
A millimeter of water column (symbol: mmWC or mmH₂O) is a unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by a 1 mm high column of water at 4°C under standard gravity. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, gas pressure measurements, and low-pressure systems.
Formula for Bar to mmWC Conversion:
Pressure in mmWC=Pressure in Bar×10197.16
How to Convert Bar to mmWC: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 1 bar.
To convert it to millimeters of water column (mmWC):
1 bar×10197.16=10197.16 mmWC
So, 1 bar is equal to 10197.16 mmWC.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for Bar to mmWC
