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 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.
