Converting from Atmosphere (atm) to Foot of Mercury (ftHg)

What is Atmosphere (atm)

Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure commonly used in weather reports and for measuring atmospheric pressure. It is equivalent to the average pressure of air at sea level.

What is Foot of Mercury (ftHg)

Foot of Mercury (ftHg) is a unit of pressure that is commonly used in the field of aviation and meteorology. It represents the amount of pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is one foot high.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formula from atm to ftHg is:

Pressure(ftHg)=Pressure(atm)×2.493438

To convert ftHg to atm, you can use the formula:

Pressure(atm)=Pressure(ftHg)×0.4010527

Examples

1. Converting 11 atm to ftHg:

11 atm=11×2.493438=27.42782 ftHg

2. Converting 16 ftHg to atm:

16 ftHg=16×0.4010527=6.416844 atm

3. Converting 6 atm to ftHg:

6 atm=6×2.493438=14.96063 ftHg

Overall, converting pressure from Atmosphere (atm) to Foot of Mercury (ftHg) involves simple multiplication by the conversion factor. You can use the provided formulas and examples to perform these conversions accurately.
