Seamlessly Convert Torr to ksi with Our Efficient Tool

Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Torr to ksi using Newtum's precise Torr to Kip-force square Inch Converter, sparking your curiosity to explore more.

What are Torr and Kip-force/square inch

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which is approximately equivalent to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). Precisely, one Torr is equal to 133.3223684 pascals. Torr is commonly used in vacuum applications and barometric pressure measurements.

Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure where one kip-force is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). It measures the pressure resulting from a force of one kip applied over one square inch. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering, notably to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress characteristics of materials, especially metals.
