What is Pressure?
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.
What is Centimeter of Mercury?
The centimeter of mercury (symbol: cmHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of mercury under standard gravity. It has traditionally been used in scientific instruments, laboratory measurements, and vacuum systems. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the centimeter of mercury is still encountered in specialized applications. It is closely related to the Torr and other mercury-based pressure units.
One centimeter of mercury is equal to 1,333.22 pascals, 10 millimeters of mercury, 0.0133322 bar, 0.193367 psi, and 0.0131579 standard atmosphere. This unit remains useful for comparing pressure values in traditional measurement systems.
What is Hectopascal?
The hectopascal (symbol: hPa) is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in meteorology and weather forecasting, where atmospheric pressure is commonly reported in hectopascals. The hectopascal uses the SI prefix hecto, representing a factor of one hundred.
One hectopascal is equal to 100 pascals, 0.1 kilopascal, 0.001 bar, 1 millibar, and 0.000986923 standard atmosphere. The hectopascal is the international standard unit for reporting atmospheric pressure.
