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.
Pound Per Square Inch (abbreviations: psi, or lb/in2): is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
How to Convert Millimeters Of Mercury to Pounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many pounds per square inches are equivalent to 44.28 Millimeters of Mercury?
As;
1 Millimeters of Mercury = 0.019337 pounds per square inches
44.28 Millimeters of Mercury = Y pounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 44.28 times 0.019337 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 44.28 * 0.019337 / 1 = 0.85624236 pounds per square inches
Answer is: 0.85624236 pounds per square inches are equivalent to 44.28 Millimeters of Mercury.
