About Millimeter of Mercury and Kilopascal
Detailed information about both units of measurement.
Millimeter of Mercury
- Definition
- A pressure unit used in medicine for blood pressure measurement and in barometric readings.
- SI / Standard Information
- 1 mmHg ≈ 133.322 Pa. Nearly identical to 1 Torr. Used for blood pressure (120/80 mmHg) and some barometric measurements.
- Approximate Comparison
- One mmHg is the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at standard gravity.
- Practical Applications
-
- Blood pressure measurement in medicine
- Central venous pressure monitoring
- Ophthalmology (intraocular pressure)
- Some barometric pressure readings
- Real-World Examples
-
- Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg
- Eye pressure is normally 10-21 mmHg
- A standard mercury barometer reads 760 mmHg
Kilopascal
- Definition
- One thousand pascals. Commonly used for tire pressure, weather, and engineering specifications.
- SI / Standard Information
- SI-derived unit (kPa). 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa. The most practical metric unit for everyday pressure measurements globally.
- Approximate Comparison
- One kilopascal is about 0.145 PSI or roughly the pressure exerted by a 10 cm column of water.
- Practical Applications
-
- Tire pressure worldwide (except US)
- Weather and atmospheric pressure
- HVAC system static pressure
- Hydraulic system pressure
- Real-World Examples
-
- Car tire pressure is typically 200-250 kPa
- Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa
- A bicycle tire is about 300-450 kPa
