Ok, for some reason we got inlet pressures and outlet pressures in lab in two different units (something about more accuracy? I dont know) but I need to know how to convert inches H2O to psi or vise versa...........yeah, its St. Patties night and I'm doing a lab report, lame, but thanks for your help anyway

But that doesnt give inches H2O<---> psi

1 inch of water [4 °C] = 0.036 127 292 pound/square inch....off the link Chief posted

how can you make it to 306 and not know that p=rho*g*h ?

and if you didn't know how to convert, how did you do the first couple of labs that also required this conversion?

you don't have some textbook with a million unit conversions that you never thought you'd ever have to use?

None of them did, and TWW is a limited resource too.

And the labs didnt need that sort of conversion yet.

Thermo book has it in the front cover, Fluids book does too.
