-
Users should consult SI unit conversions when exactness is crucial
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is millimeter mercury (0°C)?
-
It is a pressure unit equal to the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity, commonly used in medical and laboratory settings.
-
What does atmosphere technical [at] represent?
-
The technical atmosphere is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, primarily used in older industrial and engineering contexts.
-
Why convert from millimeter mercury (0°C) to atmosphere technical [at]?
-
To relate clinical or lab pressure measurements to legacy engineering units, facilitating interpretation of older technical standards and equipment.
