Convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert millimeter mercury (0°C) [mmHg] to kilopascal [kPa], or Convert kilopascal to millimeter mercury (0°C).
1 mmHg = 0.133322387 kPa. To convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to kilopascal, multiply the value by 0.133322387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kPa = 7.5006157818 mmHg). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mmHg = 0.133322387 kPa

Millimeter Mercury (0°c)
Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.
Current Use
Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, where one pascal is defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The kilopascal was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, replacing larger units like the bar in many applications.
Current Use
The kilopascal is widely used today in various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics to measure pressure, including tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure.
