What are Atmosphere and Torr

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (Pascals). It's equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 1 cm high column of mercury at the Earth's surface at 15 degrees Celsius.

Definition of Torr

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury.

Atmosphere to Torr Conversion Table

Standard Atmosphere (atm) Torr
0.1 atm 76 Torr
0.2 atm 152 Torr
0.3 atm 228 Torr
0.4 atm 304 Torr
0.5 atm 380 Torr
0.6 atm 456 Torr
0.7 atm 532 Torr
0.8 atm 608 Torr
0.9 atm 684 Torr
1.0 atm 760 Torr

Conversion of Atmosphere to Torr

1 atm = 760 Torr
1 Torr = 1/760 atm

Example 1:
convert 0.5 atm to Torr:
0.5 atm = 0.5 × 760 Torr = 380 Torr

Example 2:
convert 1.2 atm to Torr:
1.2 atm = 1.2 × 760 Torr = 912 Torr

History of Atmosphere and Torr

The concept of standard atmosphere originated in the 19th century as scientists sought to create reference values for atmospheric pressure. Torricelli's invention of the barometer led to the Torr unit, facilitating precise pressure measurement. Conversion between atm and Torr became fundamental in scientific research and industrial applications.
