What does inch mercury (60°F) pressure measure?

It measures the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at a temperature of 60°F, commonly used in atmospheric and vacuum applications.

Why do we use picopascal units?

Picopascal measures extremely low pressures and is useful for scientific experiments involving very low ambient or residual gas pressures.

Is this conversion practical for everyday pressure values?

No, picopascal units are ideal for very low pressures and not practical for normal atmospheric or higher pressures due to large number sizes.
