How do you convert from mmHg to atm?
You have two conversion options to convert from millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to standard atmospheres (atm). The first option is to divide the mmHg value by 760, which is the number of mmHg in 1 atm. The second option is to multiply the mmHg value by 0.0013157894736842. As shown using the example of converting 1 mmHg to atm below, both approaches will give you the correct answer of 0.00131579 atm.
Conversion By Division:
Division Conversion Formula: atm=mmHg ÷ 760
atm=1 mmHg ÷ 760=0.00131579
Conversion By Multiplication:
Multiplication Conversion Formula: atm=mmHg × 0.0013157894736842
atm=1 mmHg × 0.0013157894736842=0.00131579
Quick conversion chart: mmHg to atm [0 °C] table
One popular method to convert mmHg to atm without calculating the answer yourself is using our conversion chart. Conversion charts, also called conversion tables, list millimeters of mercury (mmHg) in one column with the corresponding number of standard atmospheres (atm) in the second column.
For example, to convert 1 mmHg to atm using our conversion chart, locate the entry for 1 mmHg in the first column and note that the matching value for atm in the second column is 0.00131579. 1 mmHg equals 0.00131579 atm.

Conversion Example: Convert 743 mmHg to atm (Answered)
To convert 743 mmHg to atm, divide the pressure in mmHg by 760. This approach gives you the answer in atm, which is 0.977632 atm.
Definition: What is mmHg? (Millimeter mercury)
Millimeters of mercury (symbol = mmHg) is a manometric unit of pressure equal to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is one millimeter high under standard gravity. You will most frequently see mmHg used in blood pressure readings and weather reports from meteorologists.
The mmHg unit is commonly used in medicine (blood pressure), meteorology (weather reports), aviation (cabin pressure), and other scientific fields.
1 mmHg equals 1/760 standard atmospheres (atm) or, in SI units, 133.322 Pa (Pascals).
Definition: What is standard atmosphere (atm)?
Standard atmosphere (symbol = atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa, 760 mmHg, 101.325 kPa, 1.01325 bar, 760 torr, 4.6959 psi, or 1 ata (atmosphere absolute). Standard atmospheric pressure is equivalent to the average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.
It is called a ‘standard atmosphere’ because it is sometimes used as a standard or reference pressure.
Are atm and mmHg the same? (Pressure measurement units)
No, atm (standard atmosphere) and mmHg (millimeter of mercury) are not the same. While both atm and mmHg are pressure units, they have different values, with 1 atm equalling 760 mmHg.
How many mmHg in 1 atm?
An atmosphere (abbreviated atm) is a unit of pressure. It is equal to the pressure exerted by the Earth’s atmosphere at sea level. One atmosphere is equal to 760 mmHg.
How do you convert blood pressure to atm?
To convert blood pressure from mmHg to atm, multiply the number of mmHg by 0.0013157894736842, which is the mmHg to atm conversion factor.
What is atmospheric pressure at sea level?
Atmospheric pressure is the measure of the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on a given point. At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), 1013.25 millibars (mb), or 101325 pascals (Pa). This means that the sea-level atmosphere exerts a force of 760 mmHg on every square meter of surface area.
As elevation increases, the amount of atmospheric mass decreases, which means that atmospheric pressure decreases.
How to convert mmHg to psi (pounds per square inch calculation)
To convert mmHg to psi (pounds per square inch), multiply the mmHg value by 0.0193368. The answer will be in terms of psi.
How many kPa in 1 mmHg?
There are 0.133322 kPa (kilopascals) in 1 mmHg.
How many mmHg are in 1 torr?
A torr is a unit of pressure that is equivalent to 1 mmHg. Thus, 1 torr is equal to 1 mmHg.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can convert mmHg to atm by multiplying the mmHg value by 0.00131579. For example, 1 mmHg is equal to 0.00131579 atm.
