About These Units

Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)

Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) measure blood pressure (normal: 120/80 mmHg), vacuum systems, and barometric pressure. Based on mercury column height in a manometer. Standard atmosphere equals 760 mmHg. Also called torr in scientific contexts.

Pound per Square Foot (psf)

Pounds per square foot (psf or lbf/ft²) measures structural loads, wind pressure, and floor loading in US construction. Building codes specify floor loads in psf (residential: 40 psf, commercial: 50-100 psf). One psf equals approximately 47.88 Pascals.
