cm3STPcmcm2scmHg

cm3STPcmcm2scmHg is not a standard scientific term, but rather a concatenation of several common measurement units used in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Interpreting it as a sequence, it can be read as cubic centimeters at standard temperature and pressure (cm3 STP), centimeter (cm), square centimeter (cm2), second (s), and centimeter of mercury (cmHg).

cm3 STP refers to a volume of gas defined under standard conditions. The cm3 (cubic centimeter) is

cm is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a meter.

cmHg, or centimeter of mercury, is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to ten millimeters of mercury.

In practice, the string highlights the diversity of units used in measurements: volumes in cm3 (often related
