What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure measurements from kilopascal (kPa), a common engineering and meteorology unit, into torr (Torr), a unit used primarily for low-pressure and vacuum systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value measured in kilopascal (kPa).
Select kilopascal as the input unit and torr as the output unit if needed.
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent pressure in torr (Torr).
Review or use the converted value for scientific, engineering, or vacuum system applications.

Key Features

Converts pressure values from kilopascal to torr based on a precise fixed conversion factor.
Supports conversions useful in vacuum technology, semiconductor fabrication, and scientific instrumentation.
Simple interface allowing quick entry and conversion without requiring detailed knowledge of units.

Examples

10 kilopascal equals 75.00616827 torr.
50 kilopascal equals 375.03084135 torr.

Common Use Cases

Measuring and reporting vacuum levels in laboratory and industrial vacuum gauges.
Specifying pressures in semiconductor manufacturing and thin-film deposition.
Reporting chamber pressures in instruments like mass spectrometers and electron microscopes.
Converting everyday engineering pressure measurements into finer vacuum pressure units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter for applications requiring precise low-pressure measurement communication.
Remember to consider environmental factors and instrument calibration when interpreting results.
Apply the conversion mainly in vacuum measurement contexts rather than high-pressure scenarios.

Limitations

Conversion assumes ideal conditions; temperature and calibration may affect real measurements.
Torr is not ideal for high-pressure evaluation where kilopascal or other SI units suit better.
Result precision depends on instrument accuracy and environmental influences.

Key Terminology

Kilopascal (kPa): A derived SI unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, representing force per unit area, commonly used in engineering and meteorology.
Torr (Torr): A unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, mainly used for measuring low pressures and vacua.
Pressure: The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
