Discover the ease of converting pressure from kgf/cm² to mmHg with our user-friendly tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter ensures precise conversions from Kilogram-force per square centimeter to Millimeter Mercury at 0°C. Dive in to facilitate your scientific and engineering needs!
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in Earth's gravity on an area of one square centimeter. This metric unit, part of the centimeter-gram-second system, is widely used in engineering to measure pressures in hydraulic systems, material strength, and depth-related pressures in water.
Definition of Millimeter MercuryMillimeter Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure also known as torr, representing the pressure exerted by a one millimeter high column of mercury at 0 degree Celsius. This unit historically originates from the way blood pressure was measured and is still commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and medicine, particularly in measuring blood pressure.
| Kilogram-force/sq. cm (kgf/cm²) | Millimeter Mercury (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 kgf/cm² | 73.556 mmHg |
| 0.2 kgf/cm² | 147.112 mmHg |
| 0.3 kgf/cm² | 220.668 mmHg |
| 0.4 kgf/cm² | 294.224 mmHg |
| 0.5 kgf/cm² | 367.780 mmHg |
| 0.6 kgf/cm² | 441.336 mmHg |
| 0.7 kgf/cm² | 514.892 mmHg |
| 0.8 kgf/cm² | 588.448 mmHg |
| 0.9 kgf/cm² | 662.004 mmHg |
| 1.0 kgf/cm² | 735.560 mmHg |
1 kgf/cm² = 735.56 mmHg
0.1 kgf/cm² = 73.556 mmHg
Example 1:
Convert 1.5 kgf/cm² to mmHg:
1.5 kgf/cm² = 1.5 × 735.56 mmHg = 1103.34 mmHg
Example 2:
Convert 0.3 kgf/cm² to mmHg:
0.3 kgf/cm² = 0.3 × 735.56 mmHg = 220.668 mmHg
A brief history of the conversion between Kilogram-force per square centimeter and Millimeter Mercury stems from their individual applications in different scientific fields. The need to convert these units arises in disciplines like hydraulics, meteorology, and medicine, where different pressure measurement standards are prevalent.
