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 TorrA 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.
| 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 |
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
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.
Discover how the Standard Atmosphere to Torr Converter facilitates various real-life applications across scientific fields and industries.
Example 1: To convert 2 atmospheres to Torr: 2 atm x 760 Torr/atm = 1520 Torr.
Example 2: To convert 0.75 atmospheres to Torr: 0.75 atm x 760 Torr/atm = 570 Torr.
