FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mmHg to psi?
1 mmHg equals 0.01933678 psi. To convert, multiply the value in millimetres of mercury by 0.01933678.
How do I convert 1 mmHg to psi?
1 mmHg = 0.0193368 psi. For any value, multiply by 0.01933678.
How do I convert psi back to mmHg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 51.71493. So 1 psi = 51.7149 mmHg.
When would I need to convert millimetre of mercury to pound-force per square inch?
Pressure conversions between mmHg and psi are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
