Torr to Atmospheres Converter (Torr to atm)

This converter is designed to help you easily convert between Torr and Atmospheres (atm). It works both ways, allowing you to input values in Torr to get the equivalent Atmospheres, or vice versa.

How to Use the Converter

To use this converter, simply input a value in the Torr field, and the equivalent value in Atmospheres (atm) will automatically be calculated and displayed. If you prefer to convert from Atmospheres to Torr, input the value in the Atmospheres field, and the result in Torr will appear automatically.

Formula Used

The formula to convert from Torr to Atmospheres is:

Atmospheres (atm) = Torr × 0.00131579

To convert from Atmospheres to Torr, simply divide the value in Atmospheres by 0.00131579.

Precalculated Values

Here are some common real-world conversions:

• 1 Torr = 0.0013 atm (approximately the pressure difference in a laboratory vacuum system)
• 760 Torr = 1 atm (standard atmospheric pressure at sea level)
• 380 Torr = 0.5 atm (half the standard atmospheric pressure)
• 1520 Torr = 2 atm (twice the pressure at sea level, typical in deep-sea conditions)
• 2000 Torr = 2.6316 atm (pressure in certain industrial applications)
• 100 Torr = 0.1316 atm (near vacuum pressure)
• 500 Torr = 0.6579 atm (used in some high-altitude environmental conditions)

Mercury is the most measurable substance in Torr, and it’s the air for Atmospheres

History and Interesting Facts

Torr is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, the inventor of the barometer. It was developed as a way to measure atmospheric pressure, where 760 Torr represents standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. Atmospheres (atm) are also a unit of pressure based on Earth’s average atmospheric pressure. The need to convert between these two units often arises in fields such as physics, meteorology, and various industrial processes where precise pressure measurements are required.
