mmHgtoµm Hg

Convert millimetres of mercury (vacuum) (mmHg) to microns of mercury (µm Hg).

Factor1 mmHg = 1000 µm Hg

Converter

mmHg

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1000µm Hg

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
µm Hg = mmHg × 1000

Multiply any value in millimetres of mercury (vacuum) by 1000 to obtain the value in microns of mercury.

Worked example

Convert 1 mmHg to µm Hg.

  1. 01Start with 1 mmHg.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 µm Hg.
Result1 mmHg = 1000 µm Hg

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mmHg to µm Hg?
1 mmHg equals 1000 µm Hg. To convert, multiply the value in millimetres of mercury (vacuum) by 1000.
How do I convert 1 mmHg to µm Hg?
1 mmHg = 1000 µm Hg. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert µm Hg back to mmHg?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0009999999. So 1 µm Hg = 0.001 mmHg.
When would I need to convert millimetre of mercury (vacuum) to micron of mercury?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between mmHg 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).
