When tent material is tested for water proofness, the hydrostatic pressure it can stand before it leaks is given in either pounds per square inch or millimeters. Is this millimeters of mercury or water? I'm assuming mercury so correct me if I'm wrong. I have one
tent where the floor material is rated at 165 psi and another which is
rated at 3,000 mm. The 165 psi converts to 8,533 mm and the 3,000 mm converts to 58 psi. Am I doing this conversion right or am I comparing apples to oranges?
I'm comparing a Sierra Designs Stretch Prelude to a Eureka K2.
