Conversion Formula
The conversion from kpa to mmhg relies on the ratio that 1 kilopascal equals 7.50062 millimeters of mercury. This works because the units measure pressure, with kpa based on force per area and mmhg based on the height of mercury. The formula is: mmhg = kpa × 7.50062. For example, converting 10 kpa involves multiplying 10 by 7.50062, resulting in 75.0062 mmhg.
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 kpa to mmhg:
- Step 1: Identify the value in kpa: 15
- Step 2: Multiply by 7.50062: 15 × 7.50062
- Step 3: Calculate: 112.5093 mmhg
- Result: 15 kpa is equal to approximately 112.5093 mmhg.
- Convert 5 kpa to mmhg:
- Step 1: 5 in kpa
- Step 2: 5 × 7.50062 = 37.5031
- Result: 5 kpa equals about 37.5031 mmhg.
- Convert 30 kpa to mmhg:
- Step 1: 30 in kpa
- Step 2: 30 × 7.50062 = 225.0186
- Result: 30 kpa converts to roughly 225.0186 mmhg.
