Explanation

inches of mercury and pounds per square inch are units of pressure. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 inches of mercury = 0.4911540775 pounds per square inch, and 1 pounds per square inch = 2.0360209674 inches of mercury. Because one pounds per square inch represents a larger amount than one inches of mercury, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.
