How to Convert mmHg to Centimeter of Mercury?
Converting from mmHg to Centimeter of Mercury is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure accurate conversions from millimeter of mercury to centimeter of mercury:
- Select the Millimeter of Mercury Value: Start by determining the millimeter of mercury (mmHg) value you want to convert into centimeter of mercury (Centimeter of Mercury). This is your starting point.
- Multiply by the Conversion Factor: To calculate millimeter of mercury to equivalent centimeter of mercury amount, multiply the selected mmHg value by 0.1.
- Illustration of Multiplication:
- 1 mmHg = 0.1 Centimeter of Mercury
- 10 mmHg = 1 Centimeter of Mercury
- 100 mmHg = 10 Centimeter of Mercury

- Alternative Method – Division: If you prefer not to multiply, you can achieve the same conversion by dividing the millimeter of mercury value by 10. This alternative method also gives you the correct pressure in centimeter of mercurys.
- Illustration of Division:
- Centimeter of Mercury = mmhg ÷ 10
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 Millimeter of Mercury?
The millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury under standard gravity. It is widely used in medicine, physiology, meteorology, and vacuum technology. Blood pressure is commonly measured in millimeters of mercury, making it one of the world's best-known pressure units. The unit is closely related to the Torr.
One millimeter of mercury is equal to 133.322 pascals, 0.133322 kilopascals, 0.00133322 bar, 0.0193368 pounds per square inch, and 0.00131579 standard atmosphere. The millimeter of mercury remains the standard unit for blood pressure measurements.
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.

Millimeter of Mercury to Centimeter of Mercury Examples
Example 1:
Convert 0.7 Millimeter of Mercury pressure to Centimeter of Mercury unit.
Solution:
We know that one Millimeter of Mercury is equivalent to 0.1 Centimeter of Mercury.
Therefore,
0.7 mmHg = 0.7 x 0.1 Centimeter of Mercury.
0.7 mmHg = 0.07 Centimeter of Mercury.
Hence, 0.7 Millimeter of Mercury is approximately equal to 0.07 Centimeter of Mercury.
Example 2:
Convert 2 Millimeter of Mercury pressure to Centimeter of Mercury unit.
Solution:
We know that one Millimeter of Mercury is equivalent to 0.1 Centimeter of Mercury.
Therefore,
2 mmHg = 2 x 0.1 Centimeter of Mercury.
2 mmHg = 0.2 Centimeter of Mercury.
Hence, 2 Millimeter of Mercury is approximately equal to 0.2 Centimeter of Mercury.
