millimeter of mercury to torr
Please provide values below to convert millimeter of mercury [mmHg] to torr [Torr], or change ↔.
millimeter of mercury [mmHg]
Definition: The millimeter of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure based on the height of a column of mercury.
Historyandorigin: This unit originated in the 17th century, when mercury barometers were first used to measure atmospheric pressure.
CurrentUse: It is still widely used in medical and scientific applications, especially to measure blood pressure.
funfact: A normal blood pressure reading for a healthy adult is usually expressed in millimeters of mercury, such as 120/80 mmHg.
torr [Torr]
Definition: The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760th of an atmosphere, or approximately 133.322 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Named after Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the barometer, the torr was used for vacuum measurements and in scientific applications.
CurrentUse: It is used in vacuum physics and engineering, particularly in the field of gas pressure measurements.
funfact: The torr is often used in scientific experiments involving very low pressures or vacuums.

How to Convert millimeter of mercury to torr
1 millimeter of mercury [mmHg] = 0.9999976596 torr [Torr]
1 torr [Torr] = 1.0000023404 millimeter of mercury [mmHg]
we use cross multiplication method
millimeter of mercury [mmHg] → torr [Torr]
1 → 0.9999976596
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.9999976596=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.4999964895
