>>From one of your previous posts:
>>"My blood pressure runs somewhere around 1.8 psi (125 mm Hg). If 0.11 psi were enough to puncture human skin I would have exploded in a cloud of red mist long ago... "
>>This conversion of psi to mmHG has been bothering me. How is it done?

Well, if you don't zone out and mix up your mmHg and millibars like I did above, you multiply psi by about 51.7 to get mmHg or divide mmHg by 51.7 to get psi. 125 mmHg/51.7 = 2.4 psi (not 1.8).

Oops...

Was that the question, or was it more along the lines of "how is mmHg a measure of pressure"?
