torr [torr] to kilopascal [kPa] Converter

Quick Reference

1 torr (torr) = 0.1333223684 kilopascal (kPa)

1 kilopascal (kPa) = 7.500616827 torr (torr)

How to Convert torr to kilopascal

1 torr = 0.1333223684 kPa
1 kPa = 7.500616827 torr

To convert torr to kilopascal, divide the value by 7.500616827 (equivalently, multiply by 0.1333223684). To convert kilopascal back to torr, multiply by 7.500616827.

Example: convert 10 torr to kPa:
10 torr = 10 x 0.1333223684 = 1.333223684 kPa

↔ Convert kilopascal to torr

torr

Definition: The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. It is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician.

History/origin: The torr is based on the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high. It was originally defined in relation to the height of a mercury barometer.

Current use: The torr is used in vacuum technology, pressure measurement of low-pressure systems, and some areas of scientific research.

kilopascal

Definition: The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One kPa is equal to 1000 pascals.

History/origin: Like the pascal, the kilopascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing pressures larger than a single pascal.

Current use: Kilopascals are widely used in engineering, construction, and meteorology for measuring air pressure, fluid pressure, and mechanical stress.
