Converting from Meter of Water (mH₂0) to Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) in Pressure

What is Meter of Water (mH₂0)

Meter of Water (mH₂0) is a unit of pressure commonly used in various applications such as in hydrostatic pressure calculations. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 meter in height.

What is Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg)

Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) is another unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology and in medical settings to measure blood pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 1 centimeter in height.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between Meter of Water (mH₂0) and Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) are as follows:

• To convert from mH₂0 to cmHg: cmHg=mH2​0×7.355591

• To convert from cmHg to mH₂0: mH2​0=cmHg×0.135951

Examples

1. Converting 5 mH₂0 to cmHg:

5mH2​0=5×7.355591=36.77795cmHg

2. Converting 13 cmHg to mH₂0:

13cmHg=13×0.135951=1.767363mH2​0

3. Converting 14 mH₂0 to cmHg:

14mH2​0=14×7.355591=102.9783cmHg

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Meter of Water and Centimeter of Mercury in pressure measurements.
