What are Inch Mercury and Inch Water

Definition of Inch Mercury

Inch mercury (inHg) is a unit of measurement for pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one inch high at 32 degrees Fahrenheit under Earth's gravity. Historically used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, inHg is still a preferred unit in aviation and other fields.

Definition of Inch Water

Inch water (inH2O) is a non-SI unit for pressure. It measures the pressure exerted by a column of water one inch high at 4 degrees Celsius. This unit is commonly used in the United States for measuring low-pressure values and is especially prevalent in the field of HVAC systems.
