What is a centimeter mercury (0°C) unit?

It is a manometric pressure unit defined by the pressure exerted by a 1-centimeter column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity.

What does microbar (µbar) measure?

Microbar is a pressure unit equal to one-millionth of a bar, used to measure very low absolute or differential pressures.

Why convert from centimeter mercury to microbar?

Converting allows precise representation of low and vacuum pressures in applications like laboratory vacuum systems and atmospheric monitoring.
