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 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.
How to Convert Millimeters Of Mercury to Kilopounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 39.42 Millimeters of Mercury?
As;
1 Millimeters of Mercury = 1.9337E-5 kilopounds per square inches
39.42 Millimeters of Mercury = Y kilopounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 39.42 times 1.9337E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 39.42 * 1.9337E-5 / 1 = 0.00076226454 kilopounds per square inches
Answer is: 0.00076226454 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 39.42 Millimeters of Mercury.
