inch of mercury to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert inch of mercury [inHg] to kilopascal [kPa], or change ↔.
inch of mercury [inHg]
Definition: The inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the height of a column of mercury in inches.
Historyandorigin: Inches of mercury have been used historically to measure atmospheric pressure, especially in weather instruments and barometers.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used in the United States to measure atmospheric pressure and altimeter settings in aviation.
funfact: One inch of mercury is roughly equivalent to 33.8639 hPa (hectopascals), a more common unit for pressure.
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Kilopascals were introduced as a more practical unit of pressure in everyday use, as pascals themselves are too small.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used to measure pressure in industrial, engineering, and meteorological contexts.
funfact: The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa!

How to Convert inch of mercury to kilopascal
1 inch of mercury [inHg] = 3.3863886667 kilopascal [kPa]
1 kilopascal [kPa] = 0.2952998307 inch of mercury [inHg]
we use cross multiplication method
inch of mercury [inHg] → kilopascal [kPa]
1 → 3.3863886667
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*3.3863886667=1*x
by simplifying
x=5.079583
