Formula

Formula
mmHg = dyn/cm² × 0.0007500616

Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 0.0007500616 to obtain the value in millimetres of mercury (stress).

Worked example

Convert 10000 dyn/cm² to mmHg.

  1. 01Start with 10000 dyn/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.0007500616 = 7.50062 mmHg.
Result10000 dyn/cm² = 7.50062 mmHg

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to mmHg?
1 dyn/cm² equals 0.0007500616 mmHg. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre (stress) by 0.0007500616.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to mmHg?
1 dyn/cm² = 0.000750062 mmHg. For any value, multiply by 0.0007500616.
How do I convert mmHg back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1333.224. So 1 mmHg = 1333.22 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre (stress) to millimetre of mercury (stress)?
Stress conversions between dyn/cm² and mmHg are routine in mechanics-of-materials work: yield, ultimate and allowable-stress specification, Young's-modulus tables and structural-design code calculations. MPa and N/mm² dominate ISO and European datasheets, psi and ksi dominate US structural codes, and kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² appear in legacy JIS and heavy-engineering documentation. Stress is the same physical dimension as pressure but a different engineering quantity — this category is mechanics-of-materials, not process pressure.
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).
