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.
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.
How to Convert Millimeters Of Mercury to Kilopounds Per Square Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 48.27 Millimeters of Mercury?
As;
1 Millimeters of Mercury = 0.002784528 kilopounds per square feet
48.27 Millimeters of Mercury = Y kilopounds per square feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 48.27 times 0.002784528 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 48.27 * 0.002784528 / 1 = 0.13440916656 kilopounds per square feet
Answer is: 0.13440916656 kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 48.27 Millimeters of Mercury.
