A FDA C106039 FDA CDRH GUDID Terminology C128461 Inches of Mercury A measurement of the pressure exerted by a column of mercury of 1 inch in height at the standard acceleration of gravity. This measurement is used for barometric pressure in aviation, refrigeration, and weather reports. The conversion to metric units is dependent upon the temperature of the mercury.
