Convert poundal/square foot to centimeter mercury (0°C)
Please provide values below to convert poundal/square foot [pdl/ft^2] to centimeter mercury (0°C) [cmHg], or Convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to poundal/square foot.
1 pdl/ft^2 = 0.00111621459343 cmHg. To convert poundal/square foot to centimeter mercury (0°C), multiply the value by 0.00111621459343; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cmHg = 895.885079704 pdl/ft^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Poundal/square Foot
The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot.
History/Origin
The poundal is an imperial unit of force introduced in the 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second system, primarily used in engineering contexts. The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
The poundal per square foot is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the pascal (Pa) in scientific and engineering applications. It may still appear in legacy systems or specific regional engineering contexts.
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.
