What are Inch Mercury and Kilopascal

Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement. It represents the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at the earth's surface at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. As a conventional unit, it is commonly used in meteorology and aviation to measure atmospheric pressure.

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI). It equates to one thousand pascals, the standard unit of pressure. Kilopascals are commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure force per unit area, including atmospheric pressure and mechanical stress.
