How do you convert mmHg to kPa?

How do you convert mmHg to kPa?

Multiply the number of millimeters of mercury by 0.13332239 to convert to kilopascals. For example, 25,000 mmHg multiplied by 0.13332239 gives you a conversion of 3333.05975 kPa.

How do you convert kPa to mmHg?

kPa to mmHg Conversion Table

  1. 1 mmHg = 133.322 Pascals (Pa)
  2. 1 kPa = 1000 Pascals (Pa)
  3. mmHg value x 133.322 Pa = kPa value x 1000 Pa.
  4. mmHg value = kPa value x 7.50062.

What is the difference between kPa and mmHg?

As mmHg is not common in all countries, kPa is also often used as a unit of measurement. KPa stands for kilopascal and describes the pressure exerted on a surface. The unit mmHg (millimeter mercury column) is also used to measure blood pressure.

Should I use mmHg or kPa?

KPa is widely used internationally as a unit of pressure and also measures eg the tyre pressure of cars. The unit mmHg (millimeter mercury column) is also used to measure blood pressure.

What is normal blood pressure in kPa?

Normal blood pressure in adults is equal to or below 140 mmHg (18.6 kPa) systolic and 90 mmHg (12.0 kPa) diastolic.

Why do we use mmHg?

And the height the mercury rises to is a convenient measure of atmospheric pressure and can be read off using a simple ruler. We could use mm of water, but would need a much longer tube and an unusually inconveniently sized ruler. Hence why mercury is the fluid and a convenient way of measuring pressure is mm of Hg.

What is normal mmHg?

A healthy blood pressure reading should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. Normal blood pressure is less than 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic (see blood pressure chart below), and may vary from 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg in a healthy young woman. A blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or higher indicates high blood pressure.

Why do we use mm Hg?

What is ideal mmHg?

What is mmHg in blood pressure?

Blood pressure readings are expressed in millimeters of mercury. This unit is abbreviated as mm Hg. A normal reading would be any blood pressure below 120/80 mm Hg and above 90/60 mm Hg in an adult.

What is kPa in KG?

1 kPa = 1000 pascals (Pa) kgf/cm² value x 98066.5 Pa = kPa value x 1000 Pa….kg/cm² pressure related products.

kPa kg/cm² ?
1 0.0101972 ?
2 0.0203943 ?
3 0.0305915 ?
4 0.0407886 ?

How do you convert mm Hg to Psi?

The easiest way is to use the standard 1 atmosphere as a conversion factor. 760 mm Hg = 1 atm. 14.7 psi = 1 atm. Therefore, 760 mm Hg = 14.7 psi. Dividing both sides of the equation by 760, you get 1 mm Hg = 0.019 psi.

What is a kilopascal (kPa)?

A kilopascal (kPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit of pressure, stress, Young’s modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is a measure of force per unit area, defined as one newton per square meter.

What is pressure conversion?

Pressure – Conversion Pressure (the symbol: p) is the ratio of force to the area over which that force is distributed , and it is the amount of force acting per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal, symbol Pa. A pressure of 1 Pa is small, which approximately equals the pressure exerted by a dollar bill resting flat on a table.
