Subject:      11 in. pressure = how many Bars????
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have searched the archives and I found a lot of discussion
about the Westy propane regulator needing to push 11 inches
of water (?) but I need to know what 11 inches of pressure
is in the "Bar" measurement as I am trying to hook my fridge
up to a propane bottle and the only regulators I can find
(here in Cairo) are labeled in Kg/h, L/hr and Bar (sometimes
m.bar).  I can find regulators labeled: 20 Bar, 25 Bar, 30
Bar etc.  My Excel spreadsheet does not have the conversion,
inches to bar (or at least I can not find it).  I used
http://www.unitwiz.com/index.html to find a conversion and
all I found was Inches to "Barleycorns" whatever that is!

Do you know what 11 inches of propane pressure is in the Bar
measurement??

I was able to get the stove to work with a regulator of
unknown/unlabled pressure,  the fridge tries to light
(swish-poof) then goes out.
