Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) to Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator
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.
