Formula
Formula
µm Hg = nTorr × 1e-6
Multiply any value in nanotorr (vacuum) by 1e-6 to obtain the value in microns of mercury.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 nTorr to µm Hg.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 nTorr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 µm Hg.
Result1.00000e+6 nTorr = 1 µm Hg

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from nTorr to µm Hg?
1 nTorr equals 1e-6 µm Hg. To convert, multiply the value in nanotorr (vacuum) by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 nTorr to µm Hg?
1 nTorr = 1e-6 µm Hg. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert µm Hg back to nTorr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 µm Hg = 1.00000e+6 nTorr.
When would I need to convert nanotorr (vacuum) to micron of mercury?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between nTorr 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).
