Centipascal To Torr Converter

Seamlessly Convert cPa to Torr with Newtum's Online Tool

Discover the ease of converting cPa to Torr with Newtum's intuitive online Centipascal to Torr Converter. Engage with a tool designed for precision and simplicity.

What are Centipascal and Torr

A Centipascal, abbreviated as cPa, is a unit of pressure that is a submultiple of the Pascal, the SI unit for pressure. One Centipascal equals one hundredth of a Pascal. It represents a very small amount of pressure, often used in scientific calculations where fine gradations of pressure measurement are required.

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). One Torr is equivalent to 133.3223684 pascals and is commonly used in vacuum and low-pressure measurements.

History of Centipascal and Torr

The Centipascal to Torr conversion tool reflects the evolution of pressure measurement from the use of simple barometric pressure units to more precise and decimal-friendly units. Its history is rooted in the development of scientific instruments and the need for accurate pressure measurement in various scientific and industrial applications.
