Unit Information

Millimeter mercury (0°C) (mmHg)

Definition

The millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimeter high at 0°C. Today it is defined as exactly 1/760 of an atmosphere.

Current Use

mmHg is widely used in medicine for measuring blood pressure and in various fields involving vacuum measurements and weather reports.

Atmosphere (atm)

Definition

The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to 101,325 Pa. It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity.

Current Use

The atmosphere is used in chemistry, physics, and meteorology as a reference point for standard conditions of pressure.
