millimeter of mercury to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert millimeter of mercury [mmHg] to kilopascal [kPa], or change ↔.
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.
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Kilopascals were introduced as a more practical unit of pressure in everyday use, as pascals themselves are too small.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used to measure pressure in industrial, engineering, and meteorological contexts.
funfact: The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa!

How to Convert millimeter of mercury to kilopascal
1 millimeter of mercury [mmHg] = 0.133322 kilopascal [kPa]
1 kilopascal [kPa] = 7.5006375542 millimeter of mercury [mmHg]
we use cross multiplication method
millimeter of mercury [mmHg] → kilopascal [kPa]
1 → 0.133322
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.133322=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.199983
