Discover the ease of converting Torr to gf/cm² with our precise tool. Newtum's converter simplifies pressure unit transformation, sparking your curiosity to learn more about its functionality.
A 'Torr' is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). It's a non-SI unit that is accepted for use with the International System of Units and is used in vacuum measurements.
Definition of Gram-force/sq.cmA 'Gram-force per square centimeter' is a unit of pressure where a force of one gram is applied to an area of one square centimeter. This unit expresses the pressure exerted by the gravitational force of a gram mass on a one-centimeter square area, providing a measure of pressure in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system.
| Torr | Gram-force/sq. cm (gf/cm²) |
|---|---|
| 1 Torr | 0.00136 gf/cm² |
| 2 Torr | 0.00272 gf/cm² |

| 8 Torr | 0.01088 gf/cm² |
| 9 Torr | 0.01224 gf/cm² |
| 10 Torr | 0.01360 gf/cm² |
1 Torr = 0.00136 gf/cm²
1 gf/cm² = 735.559 Torr
Example 1:
Convert 50 Torr to gf/cm²:
50 Torr = 50 × 0.00136 gf/cm² = 0.068 gf/cm²
Example 2:
Convert 120 Torr to gf/cm²:
120 Torr = 120 × 0.00136 gf/cm² = 0.1632 gf/cm²
