The millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure traditionally used in medicine and meteorology, and its history dates back to the barometer invention by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643. Often, it is associated with measuring blood pressure and intraocular pressure, representing the pressure exerted by a column of mercury precisely 1 millimeter high. This fascinating unit highlights the interplay of physics and medicine, reflecting both the force of blood circulating against vessel walls and the atmospheric pressure’s effects on our weather systems.

Interestingly, mmHg is one of the few units still officially sanctioned for use with SI (International System of Units) under specific legal and medical contexts, underscoring its importance over centuries. Despite the global shift towards using Pascals for pressure, mmHg remains ingrained in clinical settings because of its historical usage and direct relation to human physiology. Its origins and continued use illustrate how historical scientific instruments still influence modern practices.

The Pascal, named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, is the SI unit of pressure. It is equivalent to one newton per square meter, symbolized as Pa. Despite its relatively recent introduction in 1971, the Pascal honors the pioneering work of Pascal in fluid mechanics and pressure, such as Pascal’s Law, which explains how pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions. Interestingly, a single Pascal is a tiny unit of pressure, roughly equal to the pressure exerted by a dollar bill resting flat on a table. This illustrates why everyday atmospheric pressure is typically measured in kilopascals (kPa), as one standard atmosphere is about 101.3 kPa.
