Discover the ease of converting pound-force per square foot (psf) to inches of mercury (inHg) at 32°F with Newtum's precise conversion tool.
Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square foot.
Definition of Inch of mercuryAn inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one inch in height at 32 degrees Fahrenheit under standard gravity.
Pound-force per square foot (psf) | Inches of mercury at 32°F (inHg) |
---|---|
1 psf | 0.07355 inHg |
2 psf | 0.1471 inHg |
5 psf | 0.3677 inHg |
10 psf | 0.7355 inHg |
20 psf | 1.471 inHg |
50 psf | 3.677 inHg |
100 psf | 7.355 inHg |
200 psf | 14.71 inHg |
500 psf | 36.77 inHg |
1000 psf | 73.55 inHg |
Example 1:
Convert 1 psf to inHg:
1 psf = 0.07355 inHg
Example 2:
Convert 10 psf to inHg:
10 psf = 10 × 0.07355 inHg = 0.7355 inHg
