Conversion Formula
The formula to convert inHg to mmHg is:
mmHg = inHg × 25.4
This formula works because 1 inch equals exactly 25.4 millimeters, so when pressure is measured in inches of mercury, multiplying by 25.4 converts it to millimeters of mercury.
For example, to convert 30 inHg to mmHg:
- Take the value in inHg: 30
- Multiply by 25.4: 30 × 25.4 = 762
- Result: 762 mmHg
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 inHg to mmHg:
- Multiply 15 by 25.4
- 15 × 25.4 = 381 mmHg
- So, 15 inHg equals 381 mmHg
- Convert 22.5 inHg to mmHg:
- 22.5 × 25.4 = 571.5 mmHg
- Result: 571.5 mmHg
- Convert 40 inHg to mmHg:
- 40 × 25.4 = 1016 mmHg
- Hence, 40 inHg is 1016 mmHg
- Convert 50.7 inHg to mmHg:
- 50.7 × 25.4 = 1287.78 mmHg
- Therefore, 50.7 inHg equals 1287.78 mmHg

Conversion Definitions
inhg: Inches of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure measurement based on the height of a column of mercury in inches. It is commonly used in meteorology and aviation to express atmospheric pressure and barometric pressure.
mmhg: Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is a pressure unit representing the pressure exerted by a mercury column of one millimeter height. It is widely applied in medicine, such as for measuring blood pressure, and in science for pressure readings.
Conversion FAQs
Why multiply by 25.4 to convert inHg to mmHg?
Because 1 inch equals 25.4 millimeters, the pressure measured in inches of mercury must be multiplied by 25.4 to convert the height of mercury column into millimeters. This direct length conversion aligns the units properly without changing the pressure value.
Can I convert 30 inHg to mmHg without a calculator?
You can estimate by remembering 25.4 is close to 25, so multiplying 30 by 25 gives about 750 mmHg. For exact, use 25.4 times 30 which gives 762 mmHg. Mental math can give rough but practical results in many cases.
What practical uses does converting 30 inHg to mmHg have?
Converting between these units help professionals in fields like meteorology, aviation, and healthcare to communicate pressure readings clearly. For example, blood pressure devices use mmHg, while some weather instruments report inHg.
Is there any situation when converting inHg to mmHg is not accurate?
Since the conversion is purely based on length units, it is accurate in static conditions. However, if temperature or mercury purity varies, the pressure equivalence might slightly differ but for most purposes it remains precise.
Does converting 30 inHg to mmHg change the pressure value?
No, converting units changes only how the pressure is expressed, it does not alter the actual pressure. Both 30 inHg and 762 mmHg describe the same atmospheric pressure level, just in different measurement scales.
