How to Convert Inch of Water (60 °F) to Millimeter of Mercury
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) = 1.866453225 mmHg
- 1 mmHg = 0.5357755482 inH₂O (60 °F)
- Example: convert 15 inH₂O (60 °F) to mmHg: 15 inH₂O (60 °F) = 15 × 1.866453225 mmHg = 27.99679838 mmHg
Reference conditions. inH₂O (60 °F): Water at 60 °F (15.6 °C), density ≈ 999.0 kg/m³, standard gravity. NIST value, 5 significant figures. mmHg: Conventional mercury column: ρ = 13 595.1 kg/m³ and gₙ = 9.80665 m/s² (≈ mercury at 0 °C / 32 °F).
Formula
mmHg = inH₂O (60 °F) × 1.866453225334
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) ≈ 999.0 kg/m³ × 9.80665 m/s² × 0.0254 m ≈ 248.84 Pa
- 1 mmHg = 13 595.1 kg/m³ × 9.80665 m/s² × 0.001 m = 133.322387415 Pa
- 1 inH₂O (60 °F) = 248.84 Pa ÷ 133.322387415 Pa per mmHg = 1.866453225334 mmHg
One unit is a measured value, so the factor is approximate. Inch of Water (60 °F) definition: inch of water (60 °F); Millimeter of Mercury definition: millimeter of mercury.
Worked examples
- A reading of 0.5 inH₂O (60 °F) converts to 0.9332266127 mmHg.
0.5 inH₂O (60 °F) × 1.866453225 = 0.9332266127 mmHg - A value of 7 inH₂O (60 °F) is 13.06517258 mmHg.
7 inH₂O (60 °F) × 1.866453225 = 13.06517258 mmHg

Where it's used
Inches of Water (60 °F) are used for older US gas-industry and flow-meter references, while millimeters of mercury appear in blood pressure (e.g. 120/80 mmHg). Both measure pressure, stress and differential pressure (force per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
