Formula
Formula
µm Hg = mTorr × 1
Multiply any value in millitorr by 1 to obtain the value in microns of mercury.
Worked example
Convert 1000 mTorr to µm Hg.
- 01Start with 1000 mTorr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 1 = 1000 µm Hg.
Result1000 mTorr = 1000 µm Hg

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mTorr to µm Hg?
1 mTorr equals 1 µm Hg. To convert, multiply the value in millitorr by 1.
How do I convert 1 mTorr to µm Hg?
1 mTorr = 1 µm Hg. For any value, multiply by 1.
How do I convert µm Hg back to mTorr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1. So 1 µm Hg = 1 mTorr.
When would I need to convert millitorr to micron of mercury?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between mTorr and µm Hg 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).
