What are Kilopascal and Inch Mercury

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one thousand pascals. A pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure or stress, equivalent to one newton per square meter. Kilopascals are commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts, as well as in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure.

Inch of mercury (inHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one inch in height at the standard acceleration of gravity. Conversion to other units involves the density of mercury and the standard gravity value. It is commonly used in aviation and meteorology to describe atmospheric pressure.

History of Kilopascal and Inch Mercury

The Kilopascal to Inch Mercury 32 Degree Fahrenheit Converter has its origins in the needs of meteorology and aviation. Historically, pressure measurements were taken using mercury barometers and the results were expressed in inches of mercury. This tool honors these origins while providing modern-day convenience.
