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.
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.
Definition of CentimeterA 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.
| Torr | Centimeter Mercury (cmHg) at 0°C |
|---|---|
| 1 Torr | 0.0136 cmHg |
| 5 Torr | 0.0680 cmHg |
| 10 Torr | 0.1360 cmHg |
| 20 Torr | 0.2720 cmHg |
| 30 Torr | 0.4080 cmHg |
| 40 Torr | 0.5440 cmHg |
| 50 Torr | 0.6800 cmHg |
| 60 Torr | 0.8160 cmHg |
| 70 Torr | 0.9520 cmHg |
| 80 Torr | 1.0880 cmHg |
1 Torr = 0.0136 cmHg at 0°C
1 cmHg at 0°C = 73.55 Torr
Example 1:
Convert 760 Torr to cmHg:
760 Torr = 760 × 0.0136 cmHg = 10.336 cmHg at 0°C
Example 2:
Convert 1520 Torr to cmHg:
1520 Torr = 1520 × 0.0136 cmHg = 20.672 cmHg at 0°C
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.
