Formula
bar = µm Hg × 1.333224e-6
Multiply any value in microns of mercury by 1.333224e-6 to obtain the value in bar (vacuum).
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 µm Hg to bar.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 µm Hg.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1.333224e-6 = 1.33322 bar.
Result1.00000e+6 µm Hg = 1.33322 bar

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from µm Hg to bar?
1 µm Hg equals 1.333224e-6 bar. To convert, multiply the value in microns of mercury by 1.333224e-6.
How do I convert 1 µm Hg to bar?
1 µm Hg = 1.33322e-6 bar. For any value, multiply by 1.333224e-6.
How do I convert bar back to µm Hg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 750061.7. So 1 bar = 750062 µm Hg.
When would I need to convert micron of mercury to bar (vacuum)?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between µm Hg and bar are common in vacuum-chamber instrumentation, pump-down endpoint specification, semiconductor and deposition process work, freeze-drying, electron-microscopy column pressure, vacuum metallurgy and HVAC / refrigeration service. Torr, mmHg and inHg dominate manometric vacuum gauges; mbar is standard on European instruments; micron Hg and mTorr cover high-vacuum work; Pa and kPa are the SI references. This category is vacuum / instrumentation intent — dimensionally the same as pressure, but kept separate so process-pressure searches and vacuum searches stay on the right page.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
