What is centimeter mercury (0°C)?

It is a pressure unit representing the pressure from a 1-centimeter column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity.

Is gram-force per square centimeter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI unit based on gravitational force applied over area.

Why convert between these units?

Conversions are needed for calibration, testing, and reporting when legacy or gravitational force–based units are used.

What Is This Tool?

This pressure unit converter transforms values from centimeter mercury (0°C), a manometric pressure unit, into gram-force per square centimeter, a non-SI pressure unit frequently used in legacy systems and specialized applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value measured in centimeter mercury (0°C) in the input field.
Select the source unit as centimeter mercury (0°C).
Choose the target unit as gram-force per square centimeter.
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent pressure in gram-force/sq. centimeter.

Key Features

Converts pressure values from centimeter mercury (0°C) to gram-force/sq. centimeter accurately based on standard conditions.
Offers quick calculations useful for laboratory, engineering, and materials testing contexts.
Supports legacy unit conversions where gravitational force-based pressure units remain relevant.

Examples

2 cmHg (0°C) converts to 27.1901 gram-force per square centimeter.
0.5 cmHg (0°C) converts to 6.79753 gram-force per square centimeter.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting pressure readings from mercury-based laboratory instruments.
Calibrating and specifying low-pressure sensors in legacy measurement environments.
Material adhesion testing using units consistent with older industry standards.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure measurements are taken at 0°C under standard gravity for accurate conversion.
Use conversions for calibrations and reports where non-SI units remain standard.
Be cautious when using converted values in strictly SI-compliant contexts due to unit differences.

Limitations

Gram-force per square centimeter is not an SI unit and may cause inconsistencies in SI-required situations.
Accuracy depends on maintaining standard conditions for mercury column measurements (0°C, 9.80665 m/s² gravity).
Local variations in gravity or temperature can impact centimeter mercury pressure readings.
