millimeters of mercury = atmospheres × 760
Reverse
atmospheres = millimeters of mercury × 0.001316

Example: 10 atm × 760 = 7,600 mmHg.

About both units

From

Atmosphere

atm

The standard atmosphere equals 101,325 pascals exactly — defined by CGPM in 1954. Represents average sea-level atmospheric pressure. Used in chemistry, aviation and engineering as a reference pressure.

Real-world: Sea-level pressure: 1 atm. Mount Everest summit: ~0.33 atm. Submarine at 100 m: ~11 atm.

Millimeter of Mercury

mmHg

The millimetre of mercury equals about 133.3 Pa — the pressure exerted by a 1 mm column of mercury at 0 °C under standard gravity. Traditionally and still used in medicine: blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg.

Real-world: Normal blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg. Atmospheric: 760 mmHg. Good vacuum: <1 mmHg.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 14.696 psi.
  • Note: atm ≠ bar. Close but not identical.
  • Modern SI prefers pascals; atm is a legacy reference.

Avoid these

  • Using 1 atm = 1 bar exactly — off by 1.3%.
  • Confusing standard atm with technical atmosphere (98,066.5 Pa) or atmosphere-absolute in diving.
  • Applying 1 atm outside sea level without correction.

Frequently asked questions
