The Conversion Formula
To convert torr to kilopascals, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 Torr = 0.133322 kPa. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 Torr to kilopascals: 25 × 0.133322 = 3.3331 kPa. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.133322, or equivalently multiply by 7.5006.
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).
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.
When Would You Convert torr to kilopascals?
Converting between torr and kilopascals 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 Torr = 0.133322 kPa) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
