Converting from Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) to Atmosphere (atm) in Pressure

What is Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg)

Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) is a unit used to measure pressure, commonly in the field of meteorology. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is 1 micrometer in height.

What is Atmosphere (atm)

Atmosphere (atm) is another unit of pressure commonly used in various applications such as weather forecasting and scuba diving. It represents the average pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere at sea level.

Conversion Formulas

Pressure conversion between Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) and Atmosphere (atm) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from µmHg to atm:

Pressure in atm=Pressure in µmHg×0.00000131579

• To convert from atm to µmHg:

Pressure in µmHg=Pressure in atm×759999.8

Examples

1. Converting 17 µmHg to atm:

17×0.00000131579=0.00002236843 atm

2. Converting 14 atm to µmHg:

14×759999.8=10640000 µmHg

3. Converting 2 µmHg to atm:

2×0.00000131579=0.00000263158 atm

Conclusion

Use this information to perform conversions between Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) and Atmosphere (atm) accurately and efficiently.
