What is centimeter mercury (0°C) used for?

It is a manometric pressure unit representing the pressure from a 1 cm column of mercury at 0 °C, commonly used in lab manometers and barometers.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. inch typically applied?

This unit is used to specify high compressive or contact pressure in forging, stamping, and mechanical press tooling.

Can I use this converter for very high pressures?

Centimeter mercury (0°C) may have limited accuracy for very high pressures typical of ton-force units; consider this when interpreting results.

500 cmHg (0°C) equals about 0.0483418 ton-force (short)/sq. inch

Common Use Cases

Reading pressure from mercury-based laboratory manometers and barometers
Calibrating pressure sensors and vacuum gauges in research and engineering
Specifying compressive or contact pressure in metal forging and stamping
Describing bearing and contact pressure in press tooling applications
Expressing pressure capacity on mechanical and hydraulic industrial presses

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure temperatures and gravity assumptions match standard conditions for accuracy
Use centimeter mercury (0°C) values for small or precise pressure readings
Apply ton-force (short)/sq. inch measurements for large force concentrations over small areas
Avoid using ton-force units for very low pressures due to small decimal values

Limitations

Centimeter mercury (0°C) units are best for low pressure and might not suit very high pressure ranges
Conversion depends on standard gravity and mercury density at 0 °C; variations can reduce accuracy
Ton-force (short)/sq. inch is a large-scale unit and may be impractical for very small pressures

Key Terminology

Centimeter mercury (0°C): A pressure measurement unit defined by the pressure exerted by a 1 cm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity.
Ton-force (short)/sq. inch: A pressure unit equal to the force of one short ton applied over an area of one square inch.
Standard gravity: The nominal acceleration due to Earth's gravity, standardized as 9.80665 m/s², used for precise pressure calculations.

Quick Knowledge Check

What does centimeter mercury (0°C) measure?

Temperature at which mercury freezes

Pressure from a 1 cm mercury column at 0°C

Weight of mercury per cubic centimeter

Ton-force (short)/sq. inch represents pressure equivalent to:
