This calculator enables you to convert pressure values from Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) to Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC), commonly used in low-pressure applications across industries like HVAC, water distribution, medical devices, and meteorology.
Definition: Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)
The Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) is a pressure unit that reflects the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 1 millimeter high at 0°C under standard gravity. It is commonly used in medical applications (e.g., blood pressure monitoring), barometry, and vacuum measurement.
Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)
The Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) is a unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by a 1-millimeter column of water. It is frequently used in measuring pressure in low-pressure applications such as ventilation, HVAC systems, and fluid distribution networks.
Formula for mmHg to mmWC Conversion
Pressure in mmWC=Pressure in mmHg×13.5951
How to Convert mmHg to mmWC: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 5 mmHg.
To convert it to mmWC:
5×13.5951=67.9755 mmWC
So, 5 mmHg is equal to 67.98 mmWC.
