millimeter of mercury [mmHg]
Definition: The millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure based on the height of a column of mercury.
Historyandorigin: This unit originated in the 17th century, when mercury barometers were first used to measure atmospheric pressure.
CurrentUse: It is still widely used in medical and scientific applications, especially to measure blood pressure.
funfact: A normal blood pressure reading for a healthy adult is usually expressed in millimeters of mercury, such as 120/80 mmHg.
inch of mercury [inHg]
Definition: The inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the height of a column of mercury in inches.
Historyandorigin: Inches of mercury have been used historically to measure atmospheric pressure, especially in weather instruments and barometers.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used in the United States to measure atmospheric pressure and altimeter settings in aviation.
funfact: One inch of mercury is roughly equivalent to 33.8639 hPa (hectopascals), a more common unit for pressure.
