Torr to Atm Calculator

1 Torr is equal to 0.00132 atm, this torr to atm calculator is designed to facilitate the conversion between Torr and atmospheres using Pressure (atm) = Pressure (Torr) / 760 formula.

650 Torr to atm: = 0.8553 atm
10 Torr to atm: = 0.01316 atm
923 Torr to atm: = 1.2158 atm
1520 Torr to atm: = 2.0000 atm

Torr, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, is a unit of pressure equivalent to 1 millimeter of mercury (mmHg). On the other hand, atmosphere (atm) is a standard unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by Earth’s atmosphere at sea level.

Torr to Atmospheres Conversion Formula

The formula for converting Torr to atm is:

1 atm = 760 Torr

To convert a pressure value from Torr to atm, we divide the Torr value by 760:

Pressure (atm) = Pressure (Torr) / 760

760 Torr equals exactly 1 atm
Pressures below 760 Torr correspond to fractions of an atmosphere
Pressures above 760 Torr result in values greater than 1 atm

Consider a pressure of 1520 Torr.

To convert this to atmospheres:

1520 Torr / 760 = 2 atm

The 1520 Torr is equivalent to 2 atmospheres of pressure.

How to Convert Torr to atm?

Converting Torr to atm involves a simple three-step process:

Start with your pressure value in Torr
Divide this value by 760 (the number of Torr in 1 atm)
The result is your pressure in atmospheres

Suppose we need to convert 532 Torr to atm:

We begin with 532 Torr

Divide 532 by 760: 532 / 760 ≈ 0.7

The 532 Torr ≈ 0.7 atm

Is 760 Torr Equal to 1 atm?

Yes, 760 Torr is precisely equal to 1 atm.

To verify this, let’s apply our conversion formula:

760 Torr / 760 = 1 atm

This equivalence forms the basis of the conversion factor between these two units of pressure.

The standard atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 760 mm high at 0°C under standard gravity.

Is 101.325 Torr Equal to 1 atm?

No, 101.325 Torr is not equal to 1 atm. This is a common misconception arising from the similarity to another pressure unit, the kilopascal (kPa).

To clarify:

1 atm = 760 Torr
1 atm = 101.325 kPa

Let’s convert 101.325 Torr to atm using our formula:

101.325 Torr / 760 ≈ 0.1333 atm

This calculation shows that 101.325 Torr is significantly less than 1 atm. In fact, it’s approximately 13.33% of an atmosphere.
