What does millimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

Millimeter mercury (0°C) is a pressure unit based on the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity.

Why convert mmHg to ksi?

Converting mmHg to ksi helps translate pressure values commonly used in medical or laboratory fields into units used for material strength and structural engineering analysis.

Is ksi suitable for all pressure measurements?

ksi is primarily used for high-stress engineering applications and may not be practical for typical low or moderate pressures measured in clinical settings.
