Millimeter Of Mercury (abbreviations: mm Hg, or mmHg): is a manometric unit of pressure, equal to 133.322387415 pascals. It is the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury of one millimeter high.
Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
How to Convert Millimeters Of Mercury to Atmospheres
Example: How many Atmospheres are equivalent to 39.88 Millimeters of Mercury?
As;
1 Millimeters of Mercury = 0.001316 Atmospheres
39.88 Millimeters of Mercury = Y Atmospheres
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 39.88 times 0.001316 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 39.88 * 0.001316 / 1 = 0.05248208 Atmospheres
Answer is: 0.05248208 Atmospheres are equivalent to 39.88 Millimeters of Mercury.
