What is an inch mercury (32°F)?

It is a manometric pressure unit representing the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at 32°F under standard gravity.

What does a femtopascal measure?

A femtopascal measures extremely small pressure values, equal to 10⁻¹⁵ pascals, used in scientific fields like astrophysics and ultra-high vacuum experiments.

Why convert from inch mercury to femtopascal?

Converting allows translating common atmospheric or vacuum pressure readings into ultra-low pressure units suited for advanced physics and space science applications.
