Unit Conversions

• Example conversions:
  • Between atm & mmHg
    • Conversion of 0.92 atm to mmHg--
      • multiply the atm value by 760 mmHg/atm or [0.92atm x 760.0 mmHg/atm]; the atm units cancel leaving mmHg
    • Conversion of 735.5 mmHg to atm--
      • divide the mmHg value by 760 mmHg / atm or [735.5 mmHg / (760 mmHg/atm)]
  • Between atm & kPa
    • Recalling that 1 atm = 101.324 kPa,  convert 0.934 atm to kPa--
      • multiply the atm value by 101.324 kPa / atm or 0.934 atm x 101.325 kPa/atm
    • Recalling that 1 atm = 101.324 kPa, convert 93.45 kPa to atm--
      • divide the kPa value by 101.325 kPa / atm or 93.45 kPa/ 101.325 kPa / atm
  • Between mmHg & kPa
    • Recalling that 760.0 mmHg = 101.325 kPa, convert 730 mmHg to kPa--
      • 730 mmHg x (101.325 kPa / 760 mmHg); the mmHg units cancel resulting in kPa as the final unit
    • Recalling that 760.0 mmHg = 101.325 kPa,  convert 98.234 kPa to mmHg---
      • 98.234 kPa x (760 mmHg/101.325 kPa)
