What are Millimeter and Atmosphere

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter, symbolized as mm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It is defined as one-thousandth of a meter. As the metric system is based on powers of ten, a millimeter is precisely equal to 10^-3 meters. This small measurement is often used in contexts where precision is crucial, such as in engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research.

Definition of Atmosphere

The atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to the average air pressure at sea level on Earth. This standard atmosphere is equivalent to 101,325 Pascals or about 14.696 psi. The term 'atmosphere' is widely used in a variety of fields, including meteorology, aviation, and various sciences, to denote pressure or stress.

Millimeter to Atmosphere Conversion Table

Millimeter Water (mmH2O) Standard Atmosphere (atm)
10 mmH2O 0.00098692 atm
50 mmH2O 0.0049346 atm
100 mmH2O 0.0098692 atm
250 mmH2O 0.02467 atm
500 mmH2O 0.049346 atm
750 mmH2O 0.074019 atm
1000 mmH2O 0.098692 atm
2500 mmH2O 0.24673 atm
5000 mmH2O 0.49346 atm
10000 mmH2O 0.98692 atm

Conversion of Millimeter to Atmosphere

Example 1:
Convert 10 mmH2O to atm:
10 mmH2O = 10 / 10197.16 atm ≈ 0.000981 atm

Example 2:
Convert 250 mmH2O to atm:
250 mmH2O = 250 / 10197.16 atm ≈ 0.024526 atm

History of Millimeter and Atmosphere

The concept of Millimeter Water 4 Degree Celsius to Standard Atmosphere Converter stems from the need to measure pressure differences, especially in meteorological and medical fields. The unit millimeter of water (mmH2O) is a manometric unit for pressure, defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 mm height at 4 degrees Celsius. The converter allows for easy translation between mmH2O and the standard atmospheric pressure unit (atm).
