Converting from Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) to Torr (Torr) in Pressure

What is Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg)

Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) is a unit used to measure pressure, specifically in the field of vacuum. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 micrometer (one-millionth of a meter) in height under standard conditions.

What is Torr (Torr)

Torr (Torr) is another unit of pressure commonly used in vacuum measurements. It is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter in height at standard conditions.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Micrometer of Mercury (µmHg) and Torr (Torr) is:

• 1(µmHg)=0.001(Torr)

• 1(Torr)=999.9998(µmHg)

Other conversions include:

• 4(µmHg)=0.004000001(Torr)

• 4(Torr)=3999.999(µmHg)

• 12(µmHg)=0.012(Torr)

• 12(Torr)=12000(µmHg)

• 15(µmHg)=0.015(Torr)

• 15(Torr)=15000(µmHg)

Examples

1. Convert 8 µmHg to Torr:

8(µmHg)×0.001=0.008(Torr)

2. Convert 20 Torr to µmHg:

20(Torr)×999.9998=19999.996(µmHg)
