Discover the precision of converting atmospheres (atm) to millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at 0°C with our user-friendly tool, crafted to enhance your calculations.
An Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pascals. It represents the average air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. The atmosphere is used as a reference pressure for many applications, including barometric pressure readings and the calibration of pressure-measuring instruments.
Definition of MillimeterA Millimeter (mm) is a metric unit of length equal to one-thousandth of a meter. It is a common unit of measurement for small objects and distances. A millimeter is often used in engineering and manufacturing for precision work, as it allows for measurements that are fine and detailed.
| Standard Atmosphere (atm) | Millimeter Mercury (mmHg) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 atm | 76.00 mmHg |
| 0.5 atm | 380.00 mmHg |
| 1 atm | 760.00 mmHg |
| 1.5 atm | 1140.00 mmHg |
1 atm = 760 mmHg
1 mmHg = 1/760 atm
Example 1:
convert 1 atm to mmHg:
1 atm = 1 × 760 mmHg = 760 mmHg
Example 2:
convert 0.5 atm to mmHg:
0.5 atm = 0.5 × 760 mmHg = 380 mmHg
The Standard Atmosphere to Millimeter Mercury Converter has roots in the early days of pressure measurement, where mercury barometers were used to compare pressures. The conversion reflects the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the height of mercury in a barometer at 0°C.
Explore the practical uses of converting Standard Atmosphere to Millimeter Mercury in various scientific and industrial fields.
Example 1:
Converting 1 atm to mmHg:
1 atm = 760 mmHg
Example 2:
Converting 2 atm to mmHg:
2 atm = 2 × 760 mmHg = 1520 mmHg
