This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) to Atmospheres (atm), commonly used in scientific research, weather forecasting, and various engineering applications where standardized pressure measurements are required.

Definition: Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)

The Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by a 1-millimeter column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. It is often used in medical fields, barometry, and vacuum measurements.

Definition: Atmosphere (atm)

The Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pascals. It is a reference standard for atmospheric pressure at sea level and is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts.

Formula for mmHg to atm Conversion:

Pressure in atm=Pressure in mmHg÷760​

How to Convert mmHg to atm: Example Calculation

Suppose you have a pressure of 760 mmHg.
To convert it to atm:

760÷760=1 atm

So, 760 mmHg is equal to 1 atm.

Quick Reference Conversion Table for mmHg to atm
