This below calculator allows you to convert pressure values from pounds per square inch (psi) to millimeters of mercury (mmHg):
Definition: Pound-force per Square Inch (psi)
A pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure used in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is commonly used in various applications, including measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, and other industrial processes.
Definition: Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)
A millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It is traditionally used in medicine and meteorology, representing the pressure exerted at the base of a column of mercury 1 millimeter high. It is equivalent to approximately 133.322 pascals (Pa).
Formula for Psi to mmHg Conversion:
Pressure in mmHg = Pressure in psi × 51.7149
How to Convert Psi to mmHg: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 50 psi.
To convert it to mmHg:
50 × 51.7149 = 2585.745 mmHg
So, 50 psi is equal to 2585.745 mmHg.
