About Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is the most common pressure unit in the United States, used for tire pressure (typically 30-35 psi for passenger cars), air compressor ratings, and water pressure in plumbing. Fire hydrants deliver water at 40-80 psi, and scuba tank pressures reach 3,000 psi.
About Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)
Millimeters of mercury is the standard unit for blood pressure readings worldwide (e.g., 120/80 mmHg for a healthy adult) and for barometric pressure in some contexts. The unit derives from the height of a mercury column in a manometer, and 760 mmHg equals one standard atmosphere.
