Formula

Formula
kPa = µm Hg × 0.0001333224

Multiply any value in microns of mercury by 0.0001333224 to obtain the value in kilopascals (vacuum).

Worked example

Convert 10000 µm Hg to kPa.

  1. 01Start with 10000 µm Hg.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.0001333224 = 1.33322 kPa.
Result10000 µm Hg = 1.33322 kPa

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from µm Hg to kPa?
1 µm Hg equals 0.0001333224 kPa. To convert, multiply the value in microns of mercury by 0.0001333224.
How do I convert 1 µm Hg to kPa?
1 µm Hg = 0.000133322 kPa. For any value, multiply by 0.0001333224.
How do I convert kPa back to µm Hg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 7500.617. So 1 kPa = 7500.62 µm Hg.
When would I need to convert micron of mercury to kilopascal (vacuum)?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between µm Hg and kPa 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).
