Kilopascal (abbreviations: kPa, or kN/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one kilonewton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
Millimeter Of Mercury (abbreviations: mm Hg, or mmHg): is a manometric unit of pressure, equal to 133.322387415 pascals. It is the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury of one millimeter high.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Millimeters Of Mercury
Example: How many Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 84.79 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 7.5002 Millimeters of Mercury
84.79 kilopascals = Y Millimeters of Mercury
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 84.79 times 7.5002 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 84.79 * 7.5002 / 1 = 635.941958 Millimeters of Mercury
Answer is: 635.941958 Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 84.79 kilopascals.
