About mmHg and Atmosphere

The millimeter of mercury is about 133.322 pascals, the height a pressure pushes a mercury column. Blood pressure worldwide is still reported in mmHg. The standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, mean sea-level air pressure. Chemistry reference conditions and diving depth calculations use atmospheres. One mmHg equals 0.001315789474 Atmospheres (1 mmHg = 0.001315789474 atm). mmHg is used in blood pressure readings and in medical vacuum and ventilation. Atmosphere is used in chemistry reference conditions.

Precision and Rounding:Several pressure factors are exact by definition (1 atm = 101,325 Pa; 1 bar = 100,000 Pa) while others, like psi and mmHg, are derived and carry long decimals. Tire and weather readings tolerate whole-number rounding; calibration, medicine, and process engineering need the full factor before rounding.

Use the pressure conversion guide to compare mmHg, mbar, inHg, kPa, Pa, and torr across medical, weather, aviation, vacuum, and engineering work.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
