Convert torr to centimeter mercury (0°C)
Please provide values below to convert torr [Torr] to centimeter mercury (0°C) [cmHg], or Convert centimeter mercury (0°C) to torr.
1 Torr = 0.0999999857488 cmHg. To convert torr to centimeter mercury (0°C), multiply the value by 0.0999999857488; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cmHg = 10.0000014251 Torr). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Torr
The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at standard gravity and temperature, approximately equal to 133.322 pascals.
History/Origin
The torr was introduced by Evangelista Torricelli in 1644, based on his experiments with mercury barometers, as a unit to measure atmospheric pressure. It was historically used in meteorology and physics before the adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Today, the torr is primarily used in fields like vacuum technology, physics, and medicine (e.g., blood pressure measurements), although it has largely been replaced by the pascal in most scientific contexts.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.
