Kilopascals (kPa) to Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg) Converter
Enter a value to instantly convert between pressure units.
1 Kilopascal = 7.5006 mmHg
Key Formulas
Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar
bar = psi × 0.0689476Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = bar × 14.5038Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = atm × 14.6959Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere
atm = psi × 0.068046Formula
mmHg = kPa × 7.50062A kilopascal equals 7.5006 mmHg — since 1 mmHg = 1 torr = 133.322 Pa and 1 kPa = 1000 Pa, then 1000 ÷ 133.322 = 7.5006. Medical blood pressure (120/80 mmHg) converts to approximately 16/10.7 kPa. Lab equipment and medical devices often need this conversion between metric SI units and clinical readings.
