Why convert from millimeter mercury to millipascal?

Converting to millipascal helps measure very small pressure differences needed in precise scientific and engineering contexts where traditional mmHg units are insufficient.

Is the conversion affected by temperature or gravity changes?

Yes, the mmHg unit definition uses standard gravity and 0°C temperature; deviations may impact conversion accuracy.

Can I use this conversion for large pressure values?

Millipascal units can produce large numeric values for high pressures, which might be cumbersome to handle.
