What are Atmosphere and Millimeter

Definition of Atmosphere

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 Millimeter

A 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.

Atmosphere to Millimeter Conversion Table

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

Conversion of Atmosphere to Millimeter

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

History of Atmosphere and Millimeter

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.
