What does one millibar represent in pascals?

One millibar equals 100 pascals, commonly used to express atmospheric pressure.

Why is inch water measured at 4 °C?

Inch water at 4 °C corresponds to the hydrostatic pressure of a one-inch water column at that temperature, ensuring standardization due to water density.

Can I use this conversion for high-pressure measurements?

No, inch water units are suitable only for low-pressure ranges; higher pressures are better measured in units like millibar or pascal.

What Is This Tool?

This online converter allows you to change pressure values from millibars, a common atmospheric pressure unit, to inch water (4°C), which measures small pressure differences often needed in HVAC and laboratory contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in millibar (mbar) into the input field
Select millibar as the input unit and inch water (4°C) [inAq] as the output unit
Click the convert button to see the pressure value expressed in inch water at 4°C

Key Features

Converts pressure from millibar (mbar) to inch water (4°C) [inAq]
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation needed
Provides accurate pressure unit translation for meteorology and HVAC applications

Examples

10 mbar converts to approximately 4.0147 inch water (4°C)
50 mbar converts to about 20.0737 inch water (4°C)

Common Use Cases

Translating general atmospheric pressure for finer low-pressure analysis in HVAC systems
Calibrating barometers and pressure instruments used in weather stations
Measuring static and differential pressures in ventilation ducting and clean-room environments

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure that inch water pressure is considered at 4 °C to maintain conversion accuracy
Use millibar units for reporting standard atmospheric pressure in meteorology
Reserve inch water (inAq) for applications requiring sensitive low-pressure measurement

Limitations

Inch water values are temperature-dependent and assume a temperature of 4 °C
Not suitable for expressing large pressure differences, where millibar or pascal units are preferred
Conversion reflects a fixed relationship and does not account for temperature or gravity variations
