Converting from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) to Bar (bar) in Pressure

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0)

Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) is a unit of pressure that represents the height of a column of water in millimeters that exerts a specific pressure at a specific point. It is commonly used in applications where the pressure is relatively low, such as in medical settings and meteorology.

What is Bar (bar)

Bar (bar) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is defined as exactly 100,000 pascals, which is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure at sea level. Bars are used in a variety of industries, including engineering, automotive, and aviation, to measure pressure levels.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) to Bar (bar), you can use the following formulas:

Pressure in bar=10197.16Pressure in mmH₂0​

Pressure in mmH₂0=Pressure in bar×10197.16

Examples

1. Converting 15 mmH₂0 to bar:

15 mmH₂0=15×0.0000980665 bar=0.001470998 bar

2. Converting 6 mmH₂0 to bar:

6 mmH₂0=6×0.0000980665 bar=0.000588399 bar

3. Converting 16 bar to mmH₂0:

16 bar=16×10197.16 mmH₂0=163154.6 mmH₂0

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert pressure values between Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) and Bar (bar) units.
