Convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to hectopascal
Please provide values below to convert millimeter mercury (0°C) [mmHg] to hectopascal [hPa], or Convert hectopascal to millimeter mercury (0°C).
1 mmHg = 1.33322387 hPa. To convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to hectopascal, multiply the value by 1.33322387; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hPa = 0.75006157818 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 = 1.33322387 hPa
- 1 hPa = 0.75006157818 mmHg
- 10 mmHg = 13.3322387 hPa

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.
Hectopascal
The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The hectopascal was introduced as part of the metric system and became widely adopted in meteorology during the 20th century for standardizing atmospheric pressure measurements.
Current Use
Today, the hectopascal is predominantly used in weather reporting and forecasting to indicate atmospheric pressure, with standard sea-level pressure approximately 1013 hPa.
