Worth knowing

inch of water column: This is a very small pressure, about 1/28 of a psi, and its smallness is the point: a whole air handling system might operate at 2 in w.g. Confusing it with psi overstates duct pressure by a factor of 28. Note also that natural gas appliance manifold pressure is typically 3.5 in w.g. and propane 10 to 11 in w.g., so the unit is what a manometer on a gas valve is actually reading. Full definition →

How the conversion works

Multiply by 0.004014630787 to go from pascal to inch of water column, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (Pa) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.

Going the other way? inch of water column to pascal: 1 in w.g. = 249.0889083 Pa.
