Kilopascal To Torr Converter

Effortlessly Convert Pressure Units: kPa to Torr

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.

What are Kilopascal and Torr

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.

The 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.

History of Kilopascal and 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.
