What does millimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

It measures pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity, commonly used in medical and laboratory contexts.

What is kilogram-force per square meter used for?

It is a non-SI pressure unit used historically in engineering and industry to describe force per unit area.

Why convert mmHg to kgf/m²?

To translate pressure values between clinical, laboratory, and engineering contexts, especially when dealing with legacy or older technical documents.
