Convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to millibar
Please provide values below to convert centimeter mercury (0°C) [cmHg] to millibar [mbar], or Convert millibar to centimeter mercury (0°C).
1 cmHg = 13.3322387 mbar. To convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to millibar, multiply the value by 13.3322387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mbar = 0.075006157818 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.
Millibar
A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.
Current Use
Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.
