Convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to decipascal

Please provide values below to convert millimeter mercury (0°C) [mmHg] to decipascal [dPa], or Convert decipascal to millimeter mercury (0°C).




How to Convert Millimeter Mercury (0°c) to Decipascal

1 mmHg = 1333.22387 dPa

Example: convert 15 mmHg to dPa:
15 mmHg = 15 × 1333.22387 dPa = 19998.35805 dPa

Millimeter Mercury (0°c)

Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.

History/Origin

The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.

Current Use

Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.


Decipascal

The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.

History/Origin

The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.

Current Use

The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
