What does inch mercury (32°F) measure?

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

Why convert inch mercury to microbar?

Converting to microbar allows for more precise measurement of very low pressures commonly needed in laboratories and sensitive environmental monitoring.

Is this conversion accurate under all conditions?

The accuracy is based on standard temperature and gravity conditions; changes in these can affect the precision.
