What does "10 inch pressure" mean?

Hello! I know this doesn't have anything to do with tech but I can't find anything online. So on a pipe organ, rather than 15 PSI, they talk in inches. What is the math to figure out what this means?

Its in inHg.

 

Also, insert dirty joke here about 10 inches of pressure on something...

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Oh OK I got it. So 50" would be 24 PSI?

In some specific applications, scientists uses the unit of measurement "Inches of Mercury (inHg)" instead of PSI for more precise measurements. 

 

1 inHg = 0.491 PSI

Thanks man! 9_9

inHg is typically a measure of suction, like in a vacuum tube.
