Torr to Kilopascals Converter

To convert a measurement in torr to kilopascals, multiply the value by 0.133322368421. The conversion factor comes from the relationship between both units and the pascal.

For example, to convert 5 Torr to kilopascals: 5 × 0.133322368421 = 0.666611842105 kPa.

A torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to one millimeter of mercury (about 133.32 pascals). Named after Evangelista Torricelli, inventor of the barometer, the torr is used mainly in vacuum technology and laboratory work where low pressures are measured against a mercury column.

Common uses of torr include: Vacuum system measurements; Laboratory and analytical instruments; Semiconductor process chambers; Physiology and respiratory gas pressures.

A kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals and is the most common metric unit for everyday pressures such as tire inflation. The kilopascal became widespread as metric countries standardized on SI units, replacing older units like the kilogram-force per square centimeter in engineering and automotive specifications.

Common uses of kilopascals include: Tire pressure in metric countries; Blood pressure in some clinical contexts; HVAC and building pressure specifications; Compressed air and pneumatic systems.

Here are some common values converted:

1 Torr = 0.133322368421 kPa 5 Torr = 0.666611842105 kPa 10 Torr = 1.333224 kPa 50 Torr = 6.666118 kPa 100 Torr = 13.332237 kPa
