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

It represents the pressure from a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity, approximately equal to 133.322 pascals.

Why convert mmHg to kilonewton per square meter?

Converting mmHg to kN/m² allows pressure readings from clinical and laboratory settings to be expressed in standardized SI units used in engineering and science.

Are conversion results affected by temperature or location?

Yes, because the mmHg unit depends on mercury density and gravity which can vary slightly with temperature and location.
