Pressure Conversion Guide
Medical & Weather
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg (16/10.7 kPa)
Blood pressure cuffs measure gauge pressure above atmospheric
Eye pressure (intraocular) is normally 10-21 mmHg (1.3-2.8 kPa)
Weather maps show pressure in millibars (hPa)
Low pressure systems (below 1000 mb) bring storms and rain
Industrial & Physics
Hydraulic systems commonly operate at 1000-3000 psi
Water jet cutters use pressures up to 90,000 psi (620 MPa)
Pressure = Force ÷ Area (P = F/A)
Gauge pressure = Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure
Quick Conversion Tips
Vacuum Applications
Perfect vacuum is 0 Pa absolute pressure
Laboratory vacuum pumps achieve 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻¹² Torr
Space has extremely low pressure (~10⁻¹⁷ Torr)
Vacuum packaging typically removes air to 50-100 mTorr
Extreme Pressures
Earth's core pressure: ~360 GPa (3.6 million atmospheres)
Diamond formation requires ~5 GPa pressure
Mariana Trench bottom: ~110 MPa (1100 atmospheres)
Lightning creates pressures exceeding 100 atmospheres
