Is inches of water column used to measure gas pressure instead of psig?

It can be. If you had a glass cylinder 35 feet tall, sealed at the top and filled with water, with the base of the cylinder in an open pool of water, the vacuum at the top of the cylinder combined with the normal air pressure at the bottom could support the water up to 32 feet high, or 384 inches high. "Normal" air pressure is about 14.7 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) , so you could use "inches of water" to measure small changes in pressure instead of measuring in PSI.
But in all my physics classes, I don't think I've ever seen anything measured that way.

7 inches water column equal how many PSI?
1 psig is equivalent to 51.71 mm (2 in) of mercury or to approx 700 mm (27.5 in) of water. Technically one cannot have apsig. Psig represents a pressure reading of the pressure above normal atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi. You mean a psi.
What is five cubits in inches?
As it appears, the question has no answer. If you meant cubit inches instead, then 1 cubit inch = 18 square inches 5 cubit feet = 1080 square inches so 60 cubit inches are required.
What are inches of vacuum?
Pressure is often measured in inches of mercury when describing barometric pressure in weather reports. This term is also known as "inches of mercury vacuum".
What is 8cc in inches?
Inches can't be converted to cubic centimeters. Inches measure length, while cubic centimeters measure volume.
What is square footage of 36 inches x 80 inches?
You are asking for square footage, but you are giving enough information for a measure of volume in cubic inches. Given a regular rectangular shape, 48 inches by 42 inches would give you 2016 square inches. Multiplying this by 38 inches would give you 76,608 cubic inches.
What is the pressure of 10 inches of water column?
10 inches of water column equals to how much gas pressure?
Why pressure is measure in mmHg?
All science uses the metric system for measurements. Meters instead of feet, centimeters instead of inches. A person has to learn the "language" of science.
If pressure is stated in inches that means inches of what?
Inches of mercury. It is so named because it originates from a certain pressure measurement tool that includes a column of liquid mercury.
In what is air pressure often measure in?
inches
What is 5 ounces of gas pressure to inches water column?
8.75 iwc
How much pressure would 11 inches of water column be?
.4 psi
How many inches of water column per pound of natural gas pressure?
14 inches equals one pound of natural gas pressure
How do you measure negative pressure?
negative pressure is measured in negative inches of mercury
Why is the value of atmospheric pressure compared to mercury?
Atmospheric pressure will support a column of mercury to about 760 mm. Mercurial air pressure is described as '760 mmHg'. As air pressure changes , the height of this column will also change. If you did it with water, the column would have to be about 34 feet (10.2 metres) in height.
How many ounces of gas pressure is 14 inches of water column?
8 ounces
Whether mmof water column unit is higher unit then mm of hg?
since mercury (Hg) is much more dense than water, x mm of Hg is a higher pressure than x inches of water column (in wc) or x mm of water column.Inches of water and millimeters of mercury are both the measure of pressure by equating the pressure to a height of a column of fluid (pressure-fluid height relationship) and thus, the density of the fluid greatly affects the pressure measurement.
