How it is calculated
hPa = mmHg × 1.333223874
Multiply the value in millimeters of mercury by 1.333223874 to get hectopascals.
Example
To convert 25 mmHg to hectopascals: 25 × 1.333223874 = 33.3306 hPa.

About the units
- 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.
- Hectopascal
- Exactly 100 pascals. It is the standard unit in weather reports and equals one millibar.
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 hectopascals are in one millimeter of mercury?
1 mmHg = 1.33322 hPa exactly.
How do I convert millimeters of mercury to hectopascals?
Use hPa = mmHg × 1.333223874. For example, 25 mmHg = 33.3306 hPa.
How many millimeters of mercury are in one hectopascal?
1 hPa = 0.750062 mmHg.
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.
