- Alternative Method – Division: If you prefer not to multiply, you can achieve the same conversion by dividing the millimeter of water value by 10.19716213. This alternative method also gives you the correct pressure in hectopascals.
- Illustration of Division:
- Hectopascal = mmh2o ÷ 10.19716213
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 Water?
The millimeter of water (symbol: mmH₂O or mmH2O) is a non-SI unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of water under standard gravity. It is commonly used in ventilation systems, clean rooms, HVAC engineering, and laboratory instruments to measure small pressure differences. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the millimeter of water remains a practical unit for low-pressure applications. It is based on the concept of a water column.
One millimeter of water is equal to 9.80665 pascals, 0.1 centimeter of water, 0.0000980665 bar, 0.00142233 pounds per square inch, and 0.00980665 kilopascal. The millimeter of water is widely used for measuring very low gas and liquid pressures.
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.
