Convert Kilopascals to Millimeters of Mercury
kPa to mmHg · pressure conversion
What are kilopascals and millimeters of mercury?
A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals, commonly used for tire and weather pressure. Millimeters of mercury measure pressure by the height of a mercury column, used for blood pressure. For reference: car tires run around 32 psi (220 kPa), and sea-level air pressure is about 101 kPa.
How to convert kilopascals to millimeters of mercury
1 kPa = 7.50064 mmHg. To convert, multiply the number of kilopascals by 7.50064. For example, 5 kPa = 37.5032 mmHg, and 20 kPa = 150.013 mmHg. To go the other way, multiply millimeters of mercury by 0.133322 (since 1 mmHg = 0.133322 kPa).
