What are Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Millimeter of mercury

Definition of Kilogram-force per square millimeter

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm2) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square millimeter. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used in some contexts for measuring high-pressure values such as material strength or hydraulic system pressures.

Definition of Millimeter of mercury

Millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure, defined as the amount of pressure exerted by a column of mercury one millimeter high at 0 degrees Celsius under standard gravity. It is commonly used in medicine to measure blood pressure, in meteorology for barometric pressure, and in various scientific applications. The mmHg unit is one of the ways to express pressures which are relatively small.

Conversion of Kilogram-force per square millimeter to Millimeter of mercury

1 kgf/mm2 = 7355.56 mmHg
1 mmHg = 0.000136 kgf/mm2

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 kgf/mm2 to mmHg:
0.5 kgf/mm2 = 0.5 × 7355.56 mmHg = 3677.78 mmHg

Example 2:
Convert 2 kgf/mm2 to mmHg:
2 kgf/mm2 = 2 × 7355.56 mmHg = 14711.12 mmHg

History of Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Millimeter of mercury

The concept of measuring pressure using the weight of mercury dates back to the early scientific discoveries of Evangelista Torricelli in the 17th century. The Kilogram-force per square millimeter to Millimeter Mercury 0 Degree Celsius Converter is a modern tool that builds upon these principles, providing a bridge between the traditional and metric units of pressure for diverse applications in science and industry.
