Centimeter Mercury (0°C)

A centimeter of mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 cm high at 0°C under standard gravity. It is commonly used in meteorology and medicine.

Origin:

The centimeter of mercury is derived from the millimeter of mercury (mmHg), which was originally defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. The cmHg is used in contexts where pressures are relatively low.

Kilopascal

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equal to 1,000 pascals (Pa). Since the pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²), the kilopascal represents a pressure of 1,000 N/m². It is commonly used to measure pressure in applications like weather (atmospheric pressure), engineering (tire pressure, material strength), and medicine (blood pressure). 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa = 1,000 N/m².

Origin:

The kilopascal derives from the pascal (Pa), which is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), a French mathematician and physicist known for his work in fluid mechanics and pressure. The prefix "kilo-" comes from the Greek word chilioi, meaning a thousand, and is a standard SI prefix denoting a factor of 1,000. The kilopascal is widely used because it is a convenient unit for measuring pressures in the moderate range, where the pascal alone might result in very large numbers.
