What does inch mercury (60°F) measure?

It measures pressure based on the hydrostatic pressure from a one‑inch column of mercury at 60°F, used for atmospheric and vacuum pressure readings.

When is the microbar unit used?

Microbar is used for expressing very small pressures, such as in laboratory vacuum systems, atmospheric monitoring, and sensitive acoustic measurements.

Is the conversion rate fixed?

Yes, the conversion uses a fixed rate of 1 inch mercury (60°F) equaling 33768.5 microbar, assuming constant mercury density at 60°F.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure mercury density corresponds to the 60°F reference temperature when using inch mercury values
Use microbar units for very low pressure measurements to maintain precision
Double-check unit selections before converting to ensure accuracy
Understand the application context to choose appropriate pressure units
Remember the conversion is linear and based on the fixed conversion factor
