Why convert from gigapascal to inch mercury (32°F)?

To relate very high engineering or geophysical pressures expressed in GPa to more common atmospheric and vacuum pressure units used in various fields.

What does 1 gigapascal equal in inch mercury (32°F)?

One gigapascal equals approximately 295,300.58646696 inches of mercury at 32°F.

Can I use this conversion for low pressure measurements?

No, gigapascal is used for extremely high pressures not typically found in environments measured by inch mercury, so this conversion is best for high-pressure contexts.
