What is an inch mercury (32°F) unit?

It is a manometric pressure unit defined by the pressure from a one-inch mercury column at 32°F under standard gravity.

Why convert inch mercury to micropascal?

To translate macroscopic pressure values into a very small pressure unit useful for acoustic and precision measurements.

Where is micropascal commonly used?

Micropascal is employed in measuring very low pressure fluctuations such as sound pressure levels and underwater acoustic signals.
