Subject: Density of mercury, water
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 1998 16:34:50 -0600
Mercury (Hg) is 13.59 times as dense as water, so 1 mm Hg pressure
equals 13.59 mm H2O pressure.  Expressed otherwise, 1 mmHg equals 1.359
cm H2O pressure (as H2O pressure is usually expressed in cm).  Water is
defined with a density of 1, if you're wondering.

Two inches of water equals 5.08 cm, which equals 3.74 mmHg pressure.
