Convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert centimeter mercury (0°C) [cmHg] to kilopascal [kPa], or Convert kilopascal to centimeter mercury (0°C).
1 cmHg = 1.33322387 kPa. To convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to kilopascal, multiply the value by 1.33322387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kPa = 0.75006157818 cmHg). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Centimeter Mercury (0°c)
Centimeter mercury (0°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of mercury at 0°C.
History/Origin
The centimeter mercury was historically used in barometry and pressure measurements before the adoption of the pascal. It originated from the use of mercury columns in barometers to measure atmospheric pressure, with the unit reflecting the height of the mercury column.
Current Use
Today, the centimeter mercury is largely obsolete and replaced by SI units like the pascal. However, it is still used in some medical and historical contexts to measure blood pressure and atmospheric pressure in certain regions.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, where one pascal is defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The kilopascal was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, replacing larger units like the bar in many applications.
Current Use
The kilopascal is widely used today in various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics to measure pressure, including tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure.
