Unveil the simplicity of pressure conversion with our Kilopascal to Torr Converter, designed by Newtum. Discover the ease of transforming kPa to Torr with precision.
A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equivalent to 1000 pascals, where one pascal is the pressure exerted by a one-newton force acting on a one-square-meter area. Kilopascals are commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, stress, and tensile strength.
Definition of TorrThe torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (101325 pascals). It is approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at sea level. The torr is a convenient unit for many practical applications, including vacuum measurements and barometric pressure readings.
| Kilopascal (kPa) | Torr |
|---|---|
| 1 kPa | 7.50062 Torr |
| 2 kPa | 15.00124 Torr |
| 3 kPa | 22.50186 Torr |
| 4 kPa | 30.00248 Torr |
| 5 kPa | 37.5031 Torr |
| 6 kPa | 45.00372 Torr |
| 7 kPa | 52.50434 Torr |
| 8 kPa | 60.00496 Torr |
| 9 kPa | 67.50558 Torr |
| 10 kPa | 75.0062 Torr |
1 kPa = 7.50062 Torr
1 Torr = 0.133322 kPa
Example 1:
convert 100 kPa to Torr:
100 kPa = 100 × 7.50062 Torr = 750.062 Torr
Example 2:
convert 50 kPa to Torr:
50 kPa = 50 × 7.50062 Torr = 375.031 Torr
A brief history of the Kilopascal to Torr Converter traces back to the need for accurate pressure measurements in science and industry. The kPa, a metric unit, and the Torr, derived from the physical measurement of mercury height, both serve critical roles. The converter emerged as a tool to bridge these two units, aiding precision in various applications.
Explore real-life applications where the Kilopascal to Torr Converter becomes an indispensable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Example 1: To convert 20 kPa to Torr: 20 kPa * 7.50062 = 150.0124 Torr.
Example 2: To convert 85 kPa to Torr: 85 kPa * 7.50062 = 637.5527 Torr.
