Convert Kilopascal to Centimeter Mercury (0°C)
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.
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.
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.
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.
