Manometric Conversion Factors
The following units are known as manometric pressure units and are derived from the pressure exerted by a column of liquid under the acceleration of earth’s gravity. Each manometric pressure unit is shown with its equivalent value converted into pascals (Pa). The pascal is the SI unit for measuring pressure.
Since the pressure of the fluid column can vary with changes in liquid density and local gravity it is important to quantify these factors when using these units. The physical assumptions that these conversions factors are based can be found at the bottom of this section.
The use of manometric units is discouraged by national standard organisations because they do not precisely represent the true pressure and there are differing conventions used for the temperature and density of the liquid which can lead to variation in accuracy.
| Symbol | Name | Pascals Value |
|---|---|---|
| mmH2O, mmWG, mmWC | Millimetres of Water | 9.80665 |
| cmH2O, cmWG, cmWC | Centimetres of Water | 98.0665 |
| mH2O, mWG, mWC | Metres of Water | 9,806.65 |
| inH2O, inWG, inWC | Inches of Water | 249.08891 |
| ftH2O, ftWG, ftWC | Feet of Water | 2,989.06692 |
| mmHg | Millimetres of Mercury | 133.322387415 |
| cmHg | Centimetres of Mercury | 1,333.22387415 |
| inHg | Inches of Mercury | 3,386.388640341 |
| µHg, µmHg | Microns of Mercury | 0.133322387415 |
The above manometric pressure units assume the following in their derivation and although they are not physical constants they have been accepted as popular conventions and are used universally:
- Standard acceleration due to gravity of 9.80665 m/s²
- Density of pure water at 4 deg C is 1000 kg/m³
- Density of mercury at 0 deg C is 13,595.1 kg/m³
