Pascals to Millimeters of Mercury Converter

To convert a measurement in pascals to millimeters of mercury, multiply the value by 0.007500615758. The conversion factor comes from the relationship between both units and the pascal.

For example, to convert 5 Pa to millimeters of mercury: 5 × 0.007500615758 = 0.037503078792 mmHg.

A pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure, equal to one newton of force per square meter (1 N/m²). Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, the unit was adopted by the International System of Units in 1971. It is a small unit, so everyday pressures are usually expressed in kilopascals or bars.

Common uses of pascals include: Scientific and engineering stress calculations; Meteorological reporting (via hectopascals); Material strength and tensile testing; Fluid mechanics and aerodynamics.

A millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure equal to the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter-high column of mercury, about 133.32 pascals. Derived from early mercury barometers, the mmHg is nearly identical to the torr. It remains the standard unit for blood pressure and other physiological measurements in medicine worldwide.

Common uses of millimeters of mercury include: Blood pressure readings (systolic/diastolic); Intraocular and intracranial pressure; Barometric pressure in medicine; Vacuum and gas-pressure measurement.

Here are some common values converted:
