How to Convert Inch of Water (60 °F) to Bar
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) = 0.0024884 bar
- 1 bar = 401.864652 inH₂O (60 °F)
- Example: convert 15 inH₂O (60 °F) to bar: 15 inH₂O (60 °F) = 15 × 0.0024884 bar = 0.037326 bar
Reference conditions. inH₂O (60 °F): Water at 60 °F (15.6 °C), density ≈ 999.0 kg/m³, standard gravity. NIST value, 5 significant figures.
Formula
bar = inH₂O (60 °F) × 0.0024884
or bar = inH₂O (60 °F) ÷ 401.8646519852
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) ≈ 999.0 kg/m³ × 9.80665 m/s² × 0.0254 m ≈ 248.84 Pa
- 1 bar = 10⁵ Pa (exact, by definition)
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) = 248.84 Pa ÷ 100000 Pa per bar = 0.0024884 bar
One unit is a measured value, so the factor is approximate. Inch of Water (60 °F) definition: inch of water (60 °F); Bar definition: bar.
Worked examples
- A reading of 0.5 inH₂O (60 °F) converts to 0.0012442 bar.
0.5 inH₂O (60 °F) × 0.0024884 = 0.0012442 bar - A value of 7 inH₂O (60 °F) is 0.0174188 bar.
7 inH₂O (60 °F) × 0.0024884 = 0.0174188 bar
