About mmHg and inHg
The millimeter of mercury is about 133.322 pascals — the height a pressure pushes a mercury column. Blood pressure worldwide is still reported in mmHg. The inch of mercury is about 3,386.39 pascals. US weather reports and aviation altimeter settings quote barometric pressure in inches of mercury. One mmHg equals 0.03937007313 inHg (1 mmHg = 0.03937007313 inHg). mmHg to inHg conversion comes up most often in blood pressure readings and in medical vacuum and ventilation, typically when figures need restating for US barometric weather reports.
Precision and Rounding: Several pressure factors are exact by definition (1 atm = 101,325 Pa; 1 bar = 100,000 Pa) while others, like psi and mmHg, are derived and carry long decimals. Tire and weather readings tolerate whole-number rounding; calibration, medicine, and process engineering need the full factor before rounding.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
