Why convert millimeter mercury to pascal?

Converting to pascal standardizes pressure values for use in scientific, meteorological, and engineering fields where SI units are preferred.

What does 1 millimeter mercury (0°C) represent?

It represents the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity.

Is this conversion accurate for all temperatures?

No, accuracy assumes mercury at 0°C; variations in temperature can influence the measurement.
