FAQ

What is the conversion factor from inHg to bar?
1 inHg equals 0.03386389 bar. To convert, multiply the value in inches of mercury (0 °C) by 0.03386389.
How do I convert 1 inHg to bar?
1 inHg = 0.0338639 bar. For any value, multiply by 0.03386389.
How do I convert bar back to inHg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 29.52998. So 1 bar = 29.53 inHg.
When would I need to convert inch of mercury (0 °C) to bar?
Pressure conversions between inHg and bar are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
