  2. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unitdefined as one newtonper square metre(N/m2).[1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye(10 Ba) in the CGSsystem. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to one centibar.

  3. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

    Millimetre of water (US spelling millimeter of water) [3] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 mm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 mmH2O (4 °C) = 999.9720 kg/m3 × 9.80665 m/s2 × 1 mm = 9.8063754138 Pa ≈ 9.80638 Pa ...

  4. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar). [1][2] By the barometric formula, 1 bar is roughly the atmospheric pressure on Earth ...

  5. Torr - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torr

    0.019 336 77 psi. The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly ⁠ 1 760 ⁠ of a standard atmosphere (101325 Pa). Thus one torr is exactly ⁠ 101325 760 ⁠ pascals (≈ 133.32 Pa). Historically, one torr was intended to be the same as one "millimeter of mercury", but subsequent redefinitions of ...

    Inch of water. Inches of water is a non- SI unit for pressure. It is also given as inches of water gauge (iwg or in.w.g.), inches water column (inch wc, in. WC, " wc, etc. or just wc or WC), inAq, Aq, or inH2O. The units are conventionally used for measurement of certain pressure differentials such as small pressure differences across an ...
