WHAT DOES MMHG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Millimeter of mercury

A millimeter of mercury is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high. It is now defined precisely as 13.5951 × 9.80665 = 133.322387415 pascals. It is denoted by the symbol "mm Hg". Although not an SI unit, the millimeter of mercury is still routinely used in medicine, meteorology and many other scientific fields. One millimeter of mercury is approximately 1 Torr, or 1/760 of standard atmospheric pressure. The two units are not exactly equal; however, the difference is negligible for most practical uses.
