Converting from Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) to Torr (Torr)

What is Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg)

Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 centimeter high at a specified temperature. It is commonly used in barometric pressure measurements.

What is Torr (Torr)

Torr is another unit of pressure, named after Evangelista Torricelli, the inventor of the mercury barometer. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high at a specified temperature. Torr is widely used in vacuum measurements.
