An inch (in) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Historically based on the width of a human thumb, one inch is now officially defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters. The inch is widely used in the United States, and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom and Canada.
Definition of MillimeterA millimeter (mm) is a metric unit of length equivalent to one thousandth of a meter. The millimeter is a small unit, ideal for measuring dimensions such as the thickness of an object or the diameter of small components. Its widespread use is found in engineering, manufacturing, and everyday measurements.
| Inch Mercury (60°F) | Millimeter Mercury (0°C) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 inHg | 0.254 mmHg |
| 0.05 inHg | 1.27 mmHg |
| 0.10 inHg | 2.54 mmHg |
| 0.20 inHg | 5.08 mmHg |
| 0.30 inHg | 7.62 mmHg |
| 0.40 inHg | 10.16 mmHg |
| 0.50 inHg | 12.7 mmHg |
| 0.60 inHg | 15.24 mmHg |
| 0.70 inHg | 17.78 mmHg |
| 0.80 inHg | 20.32 mmHg |
Example 1:
Convert 1 inHg at 60°F to mmHg at 0°C:
1 inHg = 25.4 mmHg
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 inHg at 60°F to mmHg at 0°C:
2.5 inHg = 2.5 × 25.4 mmHg = 63.5 mmHg
The use of inch mercury (inHg) and millimeter mercury (mmHg) as units of pressure dates back to the invention of the barometer. These units reflect the pressure exerted by a column of mercury of a defined height at specific temperature conditions. Their conversion has been standardized to aid in scientific and meteorological data comparison.
Real-life applications of pressure conversion are crucial in fields like meteorology, aviation, and medical monitoring. How does the inHg to mmHg converter play a role?
Example 1:
Convert 29.92 inHg at 60°F:
29.92 inHg = 759.972 mmHg at 0°C
Example 2:
Convert 28.50 inHg at 60°F:
28.50 inHg = 723.9 mmHg at 0°C
