Torr to mmHg Converter
One Torr equals 1 mmHg (1 torr = 1 mmHg). Multiply a Torr value by 1 to get the equivalent in mmHg. Use the calculator above for instant results, or follow the formula, worked examples, and reference table below.
Formula

How to Convert Manually
Use these steps to convert Torr values to mmHg without the calculator.
- Write down the value in Torr (torr) that you want to convert.
- Multiply that value by 1.
- For example, 10 Torr × 1 = 10 mmHg.
- Label the result as mmHg (mmHg).

About Torr and mmHg
The torr is exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, about 133.32 pascals, named after Torricelli. Vacuum technology and laboratory work specify low pressures in torr. 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. One Torr equals 1 mmHg (1 torr = 1 mmHg). Torr to mmHg conversion comes up most often in vacuum systems and coating and in laboratory low-pressure work, typically when figures need restating for blood pressure readings.
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).
Worked Example
15 Torr equals 15 mmHg.
15 torr × 1 = 15 mmHg
