What does inch mercury (60°F) measure?

Inch mercury (60°F) measures pressure based on the hydrostatic pressure of a one-inch mercury column at 60°F, widely used in meteorology, aviation, and vacuum systems.

What is a terapascal used for?

A terapascal indicates extremely large pressures encountered in fields like high-pressure physics, shock compression experiments, and planetary interior modeling.

Why are numbers so small when converting inHg to TPa?

Because terapascal units describe pressures billions of times higher than those measured in inch mercury, the resulting converted values are very small numerically.
