Newton To Torr Converter

Seamlessly Convert Pressure from N/m² to Torr with Precision

Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Newton per square meter (N/m²) to Torr with our intuitive tool, designed to pique your interest in the science of pressure conversion.

What are Newton and Torr

A Newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. The unit symbol is N, and it represents a fundamental aspect of physics in quantifying the interaction that changes the motion of an object.

The Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which approximately equals the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury (mmHg). One Torr is equivalent to about 133.322 pascals in the International System of Units (SI).
