Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Torr to kgf/m^2 with our user-friendly tool, designed to simplify your calculations.
A Torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of an atmosphere. Historically, it was defined as the pressure exerted by a mercury column one millimeter high at zero degrees Celsius. The unit is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician known for his work on barometers. The Torr is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still commonly used in certain contexts, particularly in vacuum measurements.
Definition of Kilogram-force/square meterKilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square meter. A kilogram-force is the gravitational force exerted by a one kilogram mass in standard gravity (9.80665 m/s^2). Therefore, one kgf/m^2 is equivalent to 9.80665 pascals in the International System of Units. It is sometimes used in engineering fields and material science applications.

| 40 Torr | 54.3805 kgf/m^2 |
| 50 Torr | 67.9756 kgf/m^2 |
1 Torr = 1.35951 kgf/m^2
1 kgf/m^2 = 0.73556 Torr
Example 1:
convert 50 Torr to kgf/m^2:
50 Torr = 50 × 1.35951 kgf/m^2 = 67.9756 kgf/m^2
Example 2:
convert 100 Torr to kgf/m^2:
100 Torr = 100 × 1.35951 kgf/m^2 = 135.951 kgf/m^2
