What is an inch mercury (32°F) unit?

It is a manometric pressure unit based on the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 32°F under standard gravity.

What does dekapascal measure?

Dekapascal is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 10 pascals, representing force per unit area.

Why convert inch mercury to dekapascal?

Converting inch mercury to dekapascal enables compatibility with SI units for precise readings in meteorology, HVAC, audiology, and laboratory contexts.
