FAQ
What is the conversion factor from psi to inH₂O?
1 psi equals 27.6799 inH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in pounds-force per square inch by 27.6799.
How do I convert 1 psi to inH₂O?
1 psi = 27.6799 inH₂O. For any value, multiply by 27.6799.
How do I convert inH₂O back to psi?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.03612729. So 1 inH₂O = 0.0361273 psi.
When would I need to convert pound-force per square inch to inch of water column (4 °C)?
Pressure conversions between psi and inH₂O 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).
