Converting from Torr (Torr) to Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0)

What is Torr (Torr)

Torr is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist. It is commonly used in chemistry and related fields to measure pressure. 1 Torr is equivalent to 1.35951 cmH₂0.

What is Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0)

Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) is a unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 centimeter in height. It is often used in medical and biological applications. 1 cmH₂0 is equal to 0.7355592 Torr.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Torr to cmH₂0, you can use the formula:

cmH₂0=Torr×0.7355592 To convert from cmH₂0 to Torr, you can use the formula:

Torr=cmH₂0×1.35951

Examples

1. Convert 16 Torr to cmH₂0:

cmH₂0=16×0.7355592=11.76895 cmH₂0

2. Convert 12 cmH₂0 to Torr:

Torr=12×1.35951=16.31412 Torr
