Common questions

How many millimetres are in an inch?
Exactly 25.4 mm. 1 inch = 25.4 mm, so to convert inches to millimetres multiply by 25.4; to convert mm to inches, divide by 25.4.
How do you convert bar to psi?
Multiply bar by 14.5038. 1 bar = 14.5038 psi, so 3 bar ≈ 43.5 psi. Most homes run roughly 2–4 bar (30–60 psi) of water pressure.
How do you convert litres per minute to GPM?
Divide litres per minute by 3.78541 to get US gallons per minute, because 1 US GPM = 3.78541 L/min. A 9 L/min shower head is about 2.4 GPM.
What is 60°C in Fahrenheit?
140°F. The formula is °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. A common water-heater setpoint of 60°C equals 140°F.
