Conversion Principle

The conversion from millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to atmospheres (atm) is based on the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. The conversion factor is:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

This means that to convert a pressure value from mmHg to atm, you divide the value in mmHg by 760. For example, if you have a pressure of 760 mmHg, it is equivalent to 1 atm.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields such as meteorology, medicine, and engineering where pressure measurements are commonly used in different units. It helps in converting between the two common pressure units for accurate data interpretation.
