What does pound-force per square inch measure?

It measures pressure as one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch and is commonly used in engineering and everyday contexts.

Why is the inch water unit temperature-specified at 60°F?

Because the density of water varies with temperature, the inch water measurement is standardized at 60°F for consistent pressure readings.

Can this tool convert other pressure units besides psi and inch water?

No, this specific tool focuses on converting between pound-force per square inch and inch water (60°F) only.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate pressure values from pound-force per square inch (psi), a common imperial pressure unit, into inch water (60°F) [inAq], a unit used for measuring small pressure differences, particularly at a temperature reference of 60°F.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in pound-force per square inch (psi)
Select inch water (60°F) [inAq] as the target unit
Initiate the conversion to obtain the pressure in inch water units
Refer to examples for understanding the output values

Key Features

Supports conversion from psi (pound-force per square inch) to inch water (60°F)
Easy-to-use interface for quick pressure unit translation
Browser-based tool requiring no installations
Displays results based on a standard temperature reference for inch water
Includes example conversions for clarity and reference

Examples

Converting 1 psi results in approximately 27.7073 inAq
Converting 5 psi gives a value near 138.5363 inAq

Common Use Cases

Automotive tire pressure and system pressure readings
Hydraulic and pneumatic system pressure specifications
Measuring duct and filter pressure drops in HVAC systems
Monitoring residential gas service pressures and regulator settings
Reading manometers and differential-pressure sensors in cleanroom environments

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the temperature reference for inch water is 60°F for accurate measurements
Use the tool to convert high or medium pressure units into smaller increments for precise monitoring
Apply conversions appropriately depending on the context, given the differing pressure ranges of psi and inch water

Limitations

Inch water unit depends on temperature due to water density changes, so conversions assume a standard 60°F reference
Psi measures higher pressure values, whereas inch water is suited for low-pressure differences; the two units apply to very different pressure ranges
Conversions are limited to the provided units and defined temperature conditions
