Convert pascals to inches of water column when comparing metric pressure data with HVAC fan curves, duct measurements, filters, and manometer readings.
Divide pascals by approximately 249.08891, or multiply by about 0.00401463.
Example: 1 pascal [Pa] equals 0.004015 inch of water [inH2O].
Examples
1 pascal [Pa] = 0.004015 inch of water [inH2O]
2 pascal [Pa] = 0.008029 inch of water [inH2O]
5 pascal [Pa] = 0.020073 inch of water [inH2O]
10 pascal [Pa] = 0.040146 inch of water [inH2O]
20 pascal [Pa] = 0.080293 inch of water [inH2O]
25 pascal [Pa] = 0.100366 inch of water [inH2O]
