Embark on seamless conversions from psi to mmHg with Newtum's intuitive online tool. Discover the ease of translating pressure units at 0 degrees Celsius.
PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure expressing the force exerted by one pound of force applied to an area of one square inch.
Definition of MillimeterA millimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. It represents the standard unit for measuring small distances and dimensions.
| Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) | Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 PSI | 5.1715 mmHg |

| 1 PSI | 51.715 mmHg |
| 2 PSI | 103.43 mmHg |
| 3 PSI | 155.145 mmHg |
| 4 PSI | 206.86 mmHg |
| 5 PSI | 258.575 mmHg |
| 10 PSI | 517.15 mmHg |
| 20 PSI | 1034.3 mmHg |
| 50 PSI | 2585.75 mmHg |
1 PSI = 51.715 mmHg
1 mmHg = 0.0193 PSI
Example 1:
Convert 2 PSI to mmHg:
2 PSI = 2 × 51.715 mmHg = 103.43 mmHg
Example 2:
Convert 7.5 PSI to mmHg:
7.5 PSI = 7.5 × 51.715 mmHg = 387.8625 mmHg
The conversion between PSI and mmHg has been pivotal in various scientific fields. Originally used by mercury barometers to measure atmospheric pressure, mmHg is now frequently converted from PSI for medical, meteorological, and aviation purposes, reflecting the diverse applications of pressure measurement.
Discover the practical uses of converting PSI to mmHg, critical for various real-life applications.
Example 1:
Converting 15 PSI to mmHg:
15 PSI = 15 × 51.715 mmHg = 775.725 mmHg
Example 2:
Converting 8.2 PSI to mmHg:
8.2 PSI = 8.2 × 51.715 mmHg = 424.083 mmHg
