Millimeter of Water is a pressure unit used to express mechanical, atmospheric or process pressure values.
A millimeter of water is the pressure of a 1 mm column of water. It is used for small pressures in ventilation, chimneys and gas installations.
Measurement system: SI, metric and practical engineering pressure usage. SI equivalent: 1 mmH2O = 9.80665 Pa.
