What is a microbar (µbar)?

A microbar is a unit of pressure equal to 10⁻⁶ bar or 0.1 pascal (Pa), used for measuring very small pressures in vacuum and atmospheric applications.

What does foot water (60°F) measure?

Foot water (60°F) is the pressure exerted by a one-foot column of pure water at 60°F under standard gravity, often used for low-pressure hydrostatic measurements.

Why convert microbar to foot water (60°F)?

Converting microbar to foot water translates very small pressure measurements into practical hydrostatic units relevant for HVAC diagnostics, fluid mechanics, and leak testing.
