Effortlessly convert PSI to mmHg with Newtum's precise Pound-force Square Inch to Millimeter Mercury 0 Degree Celsius Converter. Get accurate results in an instant!
Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It quantifies the force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. This unit is commonly used in various applications such as measuring tire pressure, compressed air systems, and hydraulic pressures.
Definition of Millimeter of mercuryA millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimeter high. It is now more accurately defined with reference to the kilogram, meter, and second. It's often used in medicine to measure blood pressure.
| Pound-force per Square Inch (psi) | Millimeter Mercury (mmHg) |
|---|---|

| 1 psi | 517.15 mmHg |
| 2 psi | 1034.3 mmHg |
| 3 psi | 1551.45 mmHg |
| 4 psi | 2068.6 mmHg |
| 5 psi | 2585.75 mmHg |
| 10 psi | 5171.5 mmHg |
| 15 psi | 7757.25 mmHg |
| 20 psi | 10343 mmHg |
1 psi = 51.715 mmHg
1 mmHg = 0.019336775 psi
Example 1:
convert 2 psi to mmHg:
2 psi = 2 × 51.715 mmHg = 103.43 mmHg
Example 2:
convert 5 psi to mmHg:
5 psi = 5 × 51.715 mmHg = 258.575 mmHg
The Pound-force per square inch to Millimeter Mercury 0 Degree Celsius Converter is rooted in the history of pressure measurement, bridging traditional imperial units with the metric system, a concept dating back to the era of steam engines and evolving with medical and scientific advancements.
