To convert pressure from mmHg to psi:
\[ \text{PSI} = \text{MMHG} \times 0.019337 \]
Where:
The conversion from millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to pounds per square inch (psi) is used to express pressure in different units. Millimeters of mercury is often used in medicine and physiology, while pounds per square inch is more common in engineering and technical fields. Converting between these units helps in comparing and interpreting pressure measurements across various applications.
Assume the following value:
**Step 1:** Convert mmHg to psi:
\[ \text{PSI} = 760 \times 0.019337 = 14.709 \]
The pressure in psi is 14.709 psi.
Assume the following value:
**Step 1:** Convert mmHg to psi:
\[ \text{PSI} = 1013 \times 0.019337 = 19.572 \]
The pressure in psi is 19.572 psi.
