How to Convert mmHg to atm?

Obtain pressure value in mmHg from a barometer, manometer, or other instruments, to convert mmHg to atm, divide the pressure value in mmHg by 760 (standard atmospheric pressure in mmHg), which is based on fact that 1 atm equals 760 mmHg at standard conditions.

Formula for mmHg to atm Calculations

Basic Conversion Formula:

atm = mmHg ÷ 760
where:
mmHg = Pressure in millimeters of mercury
760 = Standard atmospheric pressure in mmHg

Alternative Using Pascal:

atm = (mmHg × 133.322) ÷ 101325
where:
133.322 = Conversion factor from mmHg to Pascal
101325 = Number of Pascal in 1 atm

Temperature Correction:

mmHg(corrected) = mmHg × (1 - 0.000182 × (T - 20))
where:
T = Temperature in Celsius
20 = Reference temperature

What are mmHg and atm?

Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure equal to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high at 0°C under standard gravity. It’s commonly used in Medical Applications for blood pressure measurements and in Meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings.

Atmosphere (atm) is a standard unit of pressure defined as the average pressure exerted by Earth’s atmosphere at sea level. One atm equals 760 mmHg or 101.325 kPa. This unit is widely used in Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering applications. Both units are crucial in various scientific fields, especially when dealing with Gas Laws, Blood Pressure Monitoring, and Atmospheric Science.
