Why convert from torr to millimeter mercury (0°C)?

Both units measure low pressures and vacua with almost the same values, so converting facilitates reporting and measurement in different settings like clinical or laboratory environments.

Is the conversion between torr and mmHg exact?

The units are nearly equivalent with a very small difference in values due to their precise definitions, but they are not exactly the same.

Can I use this conversion for blood pressure readings?

Yes, millimeter mercury (0°C) is commonly used in clinical blood pressure monitoring and converting from torr can assist in this context.
