About both units

From

Millimeter of Mercury

mmHg

The millimetre of mercury equals about 133.3 Pa โ€” the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 ยฐC under standard gravity. Traditionally and still used in medicine: blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg.

Real-world: Normal blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg. Atmospheric: 760 mmHg. Good vacuum: <1 mmHg.

psi

Pounds per square inch equals approximately 6895 Pa. It is the dominant pressure unit in the US โ€” tyre pressures, plumbing, compressed air. Standard US tyre pressure: 32โ€“35 psi.

Real-world: US tyre: 32โ€“35 psi. Water supply: 40โ€“60 psi. SCUBA tank: 3000 psi. Car AC system: 30โ€“200 psi.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 mmHg โ‰ˆ 133.32 Pa โ‰ˆ 1 Torr.
  • 760 mmHg = 1 atm.
  • Blood-pressure cuffs display mmHg worldwide.

Avoid these

  • Confusing mmHg with mmHโ‚‚O (different unit, factor of 13.6).
  • Mixing mmHg with torr in precise vacuum physics โ€” they differ by one part per million.
  • Writing blood pressure in kPa โ€” use mmHg for medical continuity.
