Convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to bar
Please provide values below to convert millimeter mercury (0°C) [mmHg] to bar [bar], or Convert bar to millimeter mercury (0°C).
1 mmHg = 0.00133322387 bar. To convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to bar, multiply the value by 0.00133322387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 bar = 750.06157818 mmHg). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mmHg = 0.00133322387 bar
- 1 bar = 750.06157818 mmHg
- 10 mmHg = 0.0133322387 bar

Millimeter Mercury (0°c)
Millimeter mercury (0°C), abbreviated as mmHg, is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in millimeters at 0°C under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The mmHg originated from the use of mercury barometers in the 17th century to measure atmospheric pressure. It became a standard unit in meteorology and medicine for measuring blood pressure and other pressure-related phenomena.
Current Use
Today, mmHg is primarily used in medicine to measure blood pressure and in meteorology for atmospheric pressure readings. It is also used in various scientific and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
Bar
The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.
Current Use
The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
