Convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to pascal
Please provide values below to convert centimeter mercury (0°C) [cmHg] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to centimeter mercury (0°C).
1 cmHg = 1333.22387 Pa. To convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to pascal, multiply the value by 1333.22387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.00075006157818 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.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
