Kilopound Per Square Inch (abbreviations: ksi, or kips/in2): is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one kilopound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
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 Inches to Millimeters Of Mercury
Example: How many Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 40.9 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 51714.330040854 Millimeters of Mercury
40.9 kilopounds per square inches = Y Millimeters of Mercury
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 40.9 times 51714.330040854 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 40.9 * 51714.330040854 / 1 = 2115116.0986709 Millimeters of Mercury
Answer is: 2115116.0986709 Millimeters of Mercury are equivalent to 40.9 kilopounds per square inches.
