Converting from Inch of Mercury (inHg) to Kilopascal (kPa) in Pressure

What is Inch of Mercury (inHg)

1 Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure that is commonly used in aviation and meteorology. It represents the amount of pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 1 inch high under standard gravity at 0°C.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

1 Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure defined as one thousand pascals. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts as a measure of pressure, and is equivalent to one newton per square meter.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Inch of Mercury to Kilopascal, you can use the formula:

P(kPa)=P(inHg)×3.386389 .

And to convert from Kilopascal to Inch of Mercury, the formula is:

P(inHg)=P(kPa)×0.2952998 .

Examples

• 12 inHg is equal to 40.63667 kPa.
• 5 inHg is equal to 16.93194 kPa.
• 9 inHg is equal to 30.4775 kPa.

Use these conversion formulas to easily switch between Inch of Mercury and Kilopascal values for pressure calculations.
