Convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to torr
Please provide values below to convert millimeter mercury (0°C) [mmHg] to torr [Torr], or Convert torr to millimeter mercury (0°C).
1 mmHg = 1.00000014251 Torr. To convert millimeter mercury (0°C) to torr, multiply the value by 1.00000014251; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Torr = 0.999999857488 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 = 1.00000014251 Torr
- 1 Torr = 0.999999857488 mmHg
- 10 mmHg = 10.0000014251 Torr
- 100 mmHg = 100.000014251 Torr
How to Convert Millimeter Mercury (0°c) to Torr
1 mmHg = 1.00000014251172 Torr
Example: convert 15 mmHg to Torr:
15 mmHg = 15 × 1.00000014251172 Torr = 15.0000021376758 Torr

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.
Torr
The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at standard gravity and temperature, approximately equal to 133.322 pascals.
History/Origin
The torr was introduced by Evangelista Torricelli in 1644, based on his experiments with mercury barometers, as a unit to measure atmospheric pressure. It was historically used in meteorology and physics before the adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Today, the torr is primarily used in fields like vacuum technology, physics, and medicine (e.g., blood pressure measurements), although it has largely been replaced by the pascal in most scientific contexts.
