Seamlessly Convert Pressure Units with Our Torr to Atmosphere Technical Converter

Discover the ease of converting Torr to atmospheres (at) with Newtum's precise Torr to Atmosphere Technical Converter. A must-have tool for scientists and engineers, sparking curiosity for its accuracy and simplicity.

What are Torr and at

A 'Torr' is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale. Named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, one Torr is exactly 1/760th of a standard atmosphere, which equates to the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury (mmHg) at 0 degrees Celsius. It is a non-SI unit that is accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI).

The symbol 'at' stands for a technical atmosphere. It is a non-SI metric unit of pressure that is slightly different from the standard atmosphere (symbol: atm). One technical atmosphere is defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 kg-force per square centimeter. This unit is primarily used in engineering and is equivalent to 98,066.5 pascals or 1 kgf/cm².

History of Torr and at

The Torr to Atmosphere Technical Converter traces its origins to the fields of physics and engineering, where precise pressure measurements are crucial. Its development was inspired by the need for an easy-to-use tool to convert between these two common units of pressure, the Torr and the technical atmosphere, facilitating accurate calculations and data analysis.
