The Conversion Formula
To convert kilopascals to torr, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 kPa = 7.5006 Torr. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 kPa to torr: 25 × 7.5006 = 187.52 Torr. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 7.5006, or equivalently multiply by 0.133322.
About kilopascals
The kilopascal (kPa) is the practical metric unit for everyday pressure. It is widely used in countries that have fully adopted the metric system for tire pressure and engineering data. 100 kPa is conveniently close to 1 atmosphere of pressure. kilopascals are commonly used in Tire pressure (Metric countries), Building engineering, Scuba tank pressure, and Meteorology, Medical ventilators.
Standard atmospheric pressure is about 101.3 kPa.
About torr
The Torr is named after Evangelista Torricelli, the inventor of the barometer. It is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. For almost all practical purposes, 1 Torr equals 1 mmHg. It is primarily used in high-vacuum physics and engineering. torr are commonly used in High vacuum systems, Mass spectrometry, Thin-film manufacturing, and Physics research.
Outer space is a near-perfect vacuum (0 Torr).
When Would You Convert kilopascals to torr?
Converting between kilopascals and torr is one of the most common pressure conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 kPa = 7.5006 Torr) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
