What is a dekapascal (daPa)?

A dekapascal is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to 10 pascals, representing force per unit area. It is commonly used for low-pressure measurements in areas such as audiology and HVAC.

Why is the inch mercury unit defined at 60°F?

The 60°F reference fixes mercury density, ensuring consistent calibration and reporting of pressures such as atmospheric, vacuum, and instrument pressures.

Can this converter be used for high-pressure measurements?

No, dekapascal is intended for relatively low-pressure ranges, so very high or very low pressures may need alternative units or conversion methods.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter assists in transforming pressure measurements from dekapascal (daPa), commonly used in audiology and HVAC, into inch mercury (60°F) (inHg), which is widely used for atmospheric and aviation pressure readings. It provides an easy way to relate low-pressure readings into a more commonly referenced scale.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value measured in dekapascal (daPa)
Select dekapascal as the input unit and inch mercury (60°F) as the output unit
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent pressure in inHg
Review and use the converted value for your specific application

Key Features

Converts pressure values between dekapascal and inch mercury (60°F) accurately
Useful for industrial and scientific fields like audiology, HVAC, meteorology, and aviation
Browser-based, user-friendly interface requiring no installation
Supports precise calibration needs in laboratories and vacuum equipment

Examples

Convert 10 daPa: 10 × 0.0029613397 = 0.029613397 inHg
Convert 100 daPa: 100 × 0.0029613397 = 0.29613397 inHg

Common Use Cases

Measuring middle-ear pressure in audiology using daPa and relating it to standard pressure units
Monitoring small pressure differentials in HVAC systems with conversions to atmospheric pressure units
Calibrating low-pressure sensors in laboratories and comparing results with aviation pressure standards
Interpreting vacuum levels in vacuum systems and laboratory gauges referenced in inch mercury

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure inputs are within the low-pressure range suitable for dekapascal measurements
Remember that inch mercury pressure assumes a reference temperature of 60°F for accuracy
Use this conversion tool to facilitate communication across fields using different pressure units

Limitations

Inch mercury values depend on the reference temperature, standardized at 60°F, which affects precision
Dekapascal is suitable for relatively low pressures; high or very low pressure readings may require alternate units
Conversion assumes consistent conditions and may not account for environmental variations affecting mercury density
