How to convert kilopascals to millimeters of mercury
Formula: mmHg = kPa × 7.50062
Worked example: 250 kPa → 250 × 7.50062 = 1,875.15 mmHg
Multiply mmHg by 0.133322 to get kilopascals. A blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is 16.0/10.7 kPa, the form sometimes used in medical literature.

What is a kilopascal?
The kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals. Canadian and many European car manuals give tire pressures in kPa, for example 240 kPa, which is about 35 psi. It is also used in engineering and for blood pressure in some medical texts.
What is a millimeter of mercury?
The millimeter of mercury, about 133.32 pascals, comes from mercury barometers. It remains the unit of blood pressure worldwide: a reading of 120/80 mmHg means a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80.
