Torr To Centimeter Converter

Effortlessly Convert Torr to cmHg with Precision

Discover the ease of converting Torr to cmHg at 0°C with our reliable tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter piques your curiosity and simplifies complex measurements.

What are Torr and Centimeter

A Torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of standard atmospheric pressure. Named after Evangelista Torricelli, the inventor of the barometer, it represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury one millimeter high at 0°C under standard gravity.

A Centimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one-hundredth of a meter. Used globally, it represents dimensions and distances in varying contexts, from everyday measurements to scientific precision.

History of Torr and Centimeter

The Torr to cmHg conversion reflects the relationship between two pressure units. Historically, scientists used mercury columns to measure atmospheric pressure, leading to the creation of these units. The Torr honors Torricelli's work, while cmHg at 0°C provides a precise measure of pressure at a standard temperature.
