About mmHg and Atmosphere
The millimeter of mercury is about 133.322 pascals — the height a pressure pushes a mercury column. Blood pressure worldwide is still reported in mmHg. The standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals — mean sea-level air pressure. Chemistry reference conditions and diving depth calculations use atmospheres. One mmHg equals 0.001315789474 Atmosphere (1 mmHg = 0.001315789474 atm). mmHg to Atmosphere conversion comes up most often in blood pressure readings and in medical vacuum and ventilation, typically when figures need restating for chemistry reference conditions.
Precision and Rounding: Several pressure factors are exact by definition (1 atm = 101,325 Pa; 1 bar = 100,000 Pa) while others, like psi and mmHg, are derived and carry long decimals. Tire and weather readings tolerate whole-number rounding; calibration, medicine, and process engineering need the full factor before rounding.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
