Dive into the convenience of converting Torr to cmH2O with our easy-to-use online tool, designed by Newtum to simplify your measurements.

What are Torr and Centimeter

A Torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of an atmosphere. It's named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, who is credited with inventing the barometer. One Torr is precisely defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which means that one atmosphere is equivalent to 760 Torr. The unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second system of units and is commonly used in vacuum measurements and barometric pressure reporting.

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one-hundredth of a meter. It is widely used across the world for everyday measurements. The centimeter is ideal for measuring smaller lengths where the meter is too large, and the millimeter is too small. It is commonly used in various fields, including engineering, construction, and personal measurements for height and clothing sizes.
