Converting from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) to Pound Per Square Inch (psi) in Pressure

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0)

Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) is a unit of pressure commonly used in medical applications to measure the pressure required to move a column of water in millimeters. It is a less common unit compared to other pressure units but still finds use in specific contexts.

What is Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

Pound per Square Inch (psi) is a unit of pressure often used in engineering, meteorology, and industry. It represents the amount of force exerted on a surface area of one square inch by a one-pound force.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas for converting between Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) and Pound Per Square Inch (psi) are as follows:

• To convert mmH₂0 to psi: Pressure in psi=Pressure in mmH₂0×0.001422334

• To convert psi to mmH₂0: Pressure in mmH₂0=Pressure in psi×703.0696

Examples

1. Converting 2 mmH₂0 to psi:

2×0.001422334=0.002844669 psi

2. Converting 8 psi to mmH₂0:

8×703.0696=5624.557 mmH₂0

3. Converting 9 mmH₂0 to psi:

9×0.001422334=0.01280101 psi

4. Converting 1406.139 mmH₂0 to psi:

1406.139×0.001422334=2 psi
