The Conversion Formula
To convert kilopascals to mmHg, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 kPa = 7.5006 mmHg. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 kPa to mmHg: 25 × 7.5006 = 187.52 mmHg. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 7.5006, or equivalently multiply by 0.133322.
About kilopascals
The kilopascal (kPa) is the practical metric unit for everyday pressure. It is widely used in countries that have fully adopted the metric system for tire pressure and engineering data. 100 kPa is conveniently close to 1 atmosphere of pressure. kilopascals are commonly used in Tire pressure (Metric countries), Building engineering, Scuba tank pressure, and Meteorology, Medical ventilators.
Standard atmospheric pressure is about 101.3 kPa.
About mmHg
This unit literally measures pressure by how many millimeters it can push a column of liquid mercury up a tube. It dates back to the first barometers in the 1600s. Despite being archaic, it is the absolute global standard for measuring blood pressure. When a doctor says '120 over 80', they mean mmHg. mmHg are commonly used in Blood pressure, Meteorology, Vacuum pumps, and Laboratory physics, Medicine.
Normal systolic blood pressure is around 120 mmHg.
When Would You Convert kilopascals to mmHg?
Converting between kilopascals and mmhg is one of the most common pressure conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 kPa = 7.5006 mmHg) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
