What does one millimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

It is the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity, approximately 133.322 pascals.

Why convert mmHg to attopascal?

To express moderate pressures in mmHg on a scale useful for extremely low pressures encountered in fields like astrophysics and ultra-high vacuum research.

Are attopascal values practical for everyday pressure measurements?

No, attopascal units represent extremely low pressures and result in very large numbers, making them impractical for standard laboratory or clinical use.
