What does millimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

Millimeter mercury (0°C) measures pressure as the force exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity conditions.

Why convert from millimeter mercury to nanopascal?

Conversion from millimeter mercury to nanopascal allows translating common clinical or engineering pressure values into extremely small pressures used in scientific research.

Is this conversion useful for everyday pressure measurements?

No, this conversion is mainly used in technical and scientific contexts rather than routine, everyday pressure readings.
