FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mmHg to dyn/cm²?
1 mmHg equals 1333.224 dyn/cm². To convert, multiply the value in millimetres of mercury by 1333.224.
How do I convert 1 mmHg to dyn/cm²?
1 mmHg = 1333.22 dyn/cm². For any value, multiply by 1333.224.
How do I convert dyn/cm² back to mmHg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0007500616. So 1 dyn/cm² = 0.000750062 mmHg.
When would I need to convert millimetre of mercury to dyne per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between mmHg and dyn/cm² are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
