About both units

From

Inch of Mercury

inHg

The inch of mercury equals about 3386 Pa. Used in US barometers, US aviation altimeter settings and some engineering. Standard sea-level pressure: 29.92 inHg.

Real-world: Sea-level standard: 29.92 inHg. Mountain pass at 3000 m: ~21 inHg. US aviation QNH given in inHg.

Megapascal

MPa

The megapascal equals 1,000,000 pascals or 10 bar. Used for high-pressure engineering — hydraulic systems, material strength, concrete compression tests. 1 MPa is roughly the pressure of a 100-tonne weight on 1 m².

Real-world: Concrete compressive strength: 20–60 MPa. Hydraulic press: 30–70 MPa. Steel yield strength: 250+ MPa.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 inHg ≈ 3386 Pa ≈ 33.86 mbar.
29.92 inHg = 1013.25 mbar = 1 atm.
US pilots use inHg; European pilots use hPa (mbar).

Avoid these

Confusing inHg with mmHg — factor of 25.4.
Mixing US and European altimeter units on a single flight plan.
Using inHg on scientific papers — prefer Pa.
