What is mmHg at sea level?
760 mm
Standard sea-level pressure, by definition, equals 760 mm (29.92 inches) of mercury, 14.70 pounds per square inch, 1,013.25 × 103 dynes per square centimetre, 1,013.25 millibars, one standard atmosphere, or 101.325 kilopascals.
What is the normal pressure above sea level in MB?
The standard, or near-average, atmospheric pressure at sea level on the Earth is 1013.25 millibars, or about 14.7 pounds per square inch.

What is the atmospheric pressure in mmHg?
760 mmHg
Standard atmospheric pressure is called 1 atm of pressure and is equal to 760 mmHg and 101.3 kPa.
How is pO2 calculated?
The P/F ratio equals the arterial pO2 (“P”) from the ABG divided by the FIO2 (“F”) – the fraction (percent) of inspired oxygen that the patient is receiving expressed as a decimal (40% oxygen = FIO2 of 0.40).
What altitude is 700 MB?
10,000 feet
An air pressure of 700 millibars is commonly said to occur near 10,000 feet (3,100 meters) in elevation. But the height typically ranges from near 7,700 to 10,500 feet (2,350 to 3,150 meters).
What height is 500mb?
5700 meters
The height of the 500 mb surface is 5700 meters above sea level for all points along the line.
How is mmHg calculated?
As discussed earlier we know that one millimetre of mercury is the pressure exerted by a 1mm vertical column of mercury at 0 degree Celsius. And we also know that one mmHg is also equal to 1 torr, which is 1 / 760 of atmospheric pressure (atm) that is 1 atm = 760 mmHg.
Why is pressure measured in mmHg?
As mercury is so much denser than water or blood, even very elevated blood pressures result in it rising no more than about a foot. This quirk of medical history gives us the modern measurement unit for blood pressure: millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
