Converting from Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) to Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)

What is Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by one kilogram-force on a surface area of one square centimeter. It is commonly used in engineering and fluid mechanics.

What is Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)

Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 1 millimeter high at standard gravity. It is often used in weather forecasting and medical applications.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between kgf/cm² and mmHg are as follows:

• To convert from kgf/cm² to mmHg: mmHg=kgf/cm²×735.5591
• To convert from mmHg to kgf/cm²: kgf/cm²=mmHg×0.00135951

Examples

1. Converting 8 kgf/cm² to mmHg:

mmHg=8×735.5591=5884.473

2. Converting 10 mmHg to kgf/cm²:

kgf/cm²=10×0.00135951=0.0135951

Conclusion

You can use the provided formulas and examples to easily convert between Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) and Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) for your pressure measurement needs.
