Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) to Psi Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator
This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from millimeters of water column (mmWC) to pounds per square inch (psi), making it useful for various industrial, HVAC, and process control applications.
Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)
A millimeter of water column (symbol: mmWC or mmH₂O) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 mm high column of water at 4°C under standard gravity. It is commonly used in low-pressure systems such as HVAC, water treatment, and gas pressure measurements.
Definition: Pound-force per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure used in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure applied by one pound-force over an area of one square inch and is widely used in many industries, especially in hydraulics and pneumatics.
Formula for mmWC to Psi Conversion:
Pressure in Psi=Pressure in mmWC÷703.07
How to Convert mmWC to Psi: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 703.07 mmWC.
To convert it to psi:
703.07 mmWC÷703.07=1 psi
So, 703.07 mmWC is equal to 1 psi.
