How it is calculated
mmHg = atm × 759.9998917
Multiply the value in atmospheres by 759.9998917 to get millimeters of mercury.
Example
To convert 25 atm to millimeters of mercury: 25 × 759.9998917 = 19,000 mmHg.

About the units
- Atmosphere
- The standard atmosphere, defined as exactly 101,325 pascals.
- Millimeter of mercury
- The pressure of a 1 mm mercury column at the conventional density 13,595.1 kg/m³ and standard gravity: 133.322387415 Pa. Used for blood pressure.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many millimeters of mercury are in one atmosphere?
1 atm = 760 mmHg exactly.
How do I convert atmospheres to millimeters of mercury?
Use mmHg = atm × 759.9998917. For example, 25 atm = 19,000 mmHg.
How many atmospheres are in one millimeter of mercury?
1 mmHg = 0.00131579 atm.
What is the difference between gauge and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is measured from the surrounding air pressure, while absolute pressure starts from a perfect vacuum. These converters change the unit only, so a gauge reading stays a gauge reading.
Are torr and mmHg the same?
Almost. One torr is 101325/760 Pa, about 133.322368 Pa, and one conventional mmHg is 133.322387 Pa, a difference of less than one part per million. For everyday use you can treat them as equal.
