Understanding Pressure Measurements
Pressure, a physical quantity that represents the force exerted per unit area, is often expressed in multiple units, including pounds per square inch (psi) and inches of mercury (inHg). These units are commonly used in various scientific and industrial applications, making accurate conversions crucial.
Conversion Formulas
The conversion between psi and inHg involves a simple mathematical relationship:
Using the Conversion Formulas
To convert psi to inHg, multiply the psi value by 2.036.
Example:
10 psi × 2.036 = 20.36 inHg
Conversely, to convert inHg to psi, multiply the inHg value by 0.4912.
Example:
25 inHg × 0.4912 = 12.28 psi
