Kilopound Per Square Foot (abbreviations: ksf, or kips/ft2): is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the ksi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). Where, 1 kilopound per square foot equals 47.8803 kilopascals.
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 Kilopounds Per Square Feet to Millimeters Of Mercury
Example: How many Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 30.79 kilopounds per square feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per square feet = 359.12729195038 Millimeters of Mercury
30.79 kilopounds per square feet = Y Millimeters of Mercury
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 30.79 times 359.12729195038 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 30.79 * 359.12729195038 / 1 = 11057.529319152 Millimeters of Mercury
Answer is: 11057.529319152 Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 30.79 kilopounds per square feet.
