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 water?
The centimeter of water (symbol: cmH₂O) is a non-SI unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of water under standard gravity. It is widely used in medical equipment, ventilation systems, HVAC engineering, and fluid mechanics because it provides a practical scale for measuring relatively low pressures. The unit is derived from the hydrostatic pressure of water and is described alongside other pressure units in the centimeter of water reference.
One centimeter of water is equal to 98.0665 pascals, 10 millimeters of water, 0.000980665 bar, 0.0142233 psi, and 0.000967841 standard atmosphere. The centimeter of water is commonly used whenever accurate measurement of low pressure is required.
What is Dyne per Square Centimeter?
The dyne per square centimeter (symbol: dyn/cm²) is a CGS unit of pressure equal to one barye or exactly 0.1 pascal. It was widely used in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system before SI units became the international standard. Today, it is mainly encountered in historical scientific publications and technical literature. The unit belongs to the CGS system of units.
One dyne per square centimeter is equal to 0.1 pascal, 1 barye, 0.000001 bar, 0.0001 kilopascal, and 9.86923×10-7 standard atmosphere. It remains useful for interpreting older scientific documents.
