Pounds per Square Inch (psi) to Inch of Mercury (inHg) Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator
This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from Pounds per Square Inch (psi) to Inch of Mercury (inHg), commonly used in weather forecasting, aviation, and industrial applications requiring precise pressure measurements.
Definition: Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per Square Inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the imperial system that measures the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. It is commonly used in applications like hydraulics, automotive systems, and pipeline pressures.
Definition: Inch of Mercury (inHg)
The Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a 1-inch column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. It is frequently used in barometric pressure measurements, weather reports, and various industrial applications.
Formula for psi to inHg Conversion
Pressure in inHg=Pressure in psi×2.03602
How to Convert psi to inHg: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 10 psi. To convert it to inHg:
10 psi×2.03602=20.3602 inHg10
So, 10 psi is approximately equal to 20.36 inHg.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for psi to inHg
