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 Pound Force Per Square Inch?
The pound force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in2) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, compressed gases, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the psi remains the preferred unit in many engineering applications. More information is available in the pounds per square inch article.
One pound force per square inch is equal to 6,894.76 pascals, 6.89476 kilopascals, 0.0689476 bar, 0.068046 standard atmosphere, and 0.0703069 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The psi is one of the world's most recognized units for measuring pressure.
