Why convert kilopascal to centimeter mercury (0°C)?

This conversion helps correlate SI pressure measurements with manometric readings used in labs and instrument calibrations involving mercury columns.

What is the conversion rate between kilopascal and centimeter mercury (0°C)?

1 kilopascal equals approximately 0.7500637554 centimeter mercury (0°C).

Are there conditions affecting the accuracy of centimeter mercury measurements?

Yes, since centimeter mercury depends on mercury at 0°C and standard gravity, changes in temperature or gravity can alter the accuracy.
