What does millimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

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

Where is terapascal commonly used?

Terapascal is used to quantify extremely large pressures encountered in high‑pressure physics, shock compression, and planetary science.

Why are converted terapascal values very small?

Because terapascal measures extremely high pressures, converting moderate pressures like mmHg results in very small numerical values.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values are measured accurately considering environmental influences on mercury density.
Use this tool to bridge between moderate and extremely high pressure scales in interdisciplinary research.
Be mindful that converted values to TPa are very small due to the large scale difference between units.

Limitations

Millimeter mercury (0°C) is intended for relatively low pressure measurements and not suited for direct high-pressure applications.
Converted pressure values in terapascal are often extremely small, which may require precise scientific tools for further usage.
Variations in temperature impact mercury density slightly, potentially affecting mmHg measurement accuracy.
