Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the metric system. It is a measure of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal.

What is Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg)

Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure primarily used in the field of medicine to measure blood pressure. It is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 centimeter in height at a specific gravity of 13.5951.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formula between Kilopascal and Centimeter of Mercury is as follows:

kPa=cmHg×1.333224

cmHg=kPa×0.7500615

Examples

• To convert 6 kPa to cmHg:

6kPa=6×0.7500615cmHg=4.500369cmHg

• To convert 5 cmHg to kPa:

5cmHg=5×1.333224kPa=6.66612kPa

• To convert 2 kPa to cmHg:

2kPa=2×0.7500615cmHg=1.500123cmHg
