FAQ
What is the conversion factor from inH₂O to bar?
1 inH₂O equals 0.002490889 bar. To convert, multiply the value in inches of water column (4 °C) by 0.002490889.
How do I convert 1 inH₂O to bar?
1 inH₂O = 0.00249089 bar. For any value, multiply by 0.002490889.
How do I convert bar back to inH₂O?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 401.4631. So 1 bar = 401.463 inH₂O.
When would I need to convert inch of water column (4 °C) to bar?
Pressure conversions between inH₂O 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).
