How to convert hectopascals to millimeters of mercury
Formula: mmHg = hPa × 0.750062
Worked example: 1,013.25 hPa → 1,013.25 × 0.750062 = 760 mmHg

What is a hectopascal?
The hectopascal equals 100 pascals and is identical to the millibar. Weather maps and forecasts outside the US give air pressure in hectopascals; standard sea-level pressure is 1013.25 hPa, and a strong hurricane can drop below 950 hPa.
What is a millimeter of mercury?
The millimeter of mercury, about 133.32 pascals, comes from mercury barometers. It remains the unit of blood pressure worldwide: a reading of 120/80 mmHg means a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80.
