What units does this converter support?

It converts pressure specifically from pound-force per square inch (psi) to torr [Torr].

Where is pound-force per square inch commonly used?

It is widely used in automotive tire pressure, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and compressed gas cylinder monitoring.

Why use torr instead of psi?

Torr is suitable for measuring low pressures and vacuum environments typically in laboratories and industrial processes.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure measurements from pound-force per square inch (psi), an imperial unit common in automotive and engineering fields, into torr [Torr], a unit often used for low pressures and vacuum conditions in scientific and industrial environments.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in pound-force per square inch (psi).
Select pound-force per square inch as the input unit and torr as the output unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent pressure in torr.

Key Features

Converts pressure from psi to torr based on an accurate conversion rate.
Supports measurement needs in multiple industries including automotive, hydraulic, and laboratory systems.
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output fields.

Examples

1 psi equals approximately 51.7149 Torr.
5 psi converts to about 258.5747 Torr.

Common Use Cases

Translating tire pressure readings from psi to torr for scientific analysis.
Converting hydraulic system pressures to units suitable for vacuum process monitoring.
Measuring vacuum levels in laboratory and industrial vacuum systems using torr.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values are within practical ranges to maintain relevance for vacuum or low-pressure applications.
Cross-check conversions when dealing with varied temperature or environmental conditions.
Use the tool to complement pressure measurements in specialized scientific instruments.

Limitations

Conversion assumes standard conditions and does not account for environmental variations.
Torr is most appropriate for low pressures; high psi values may not be practical for vacuum-focused uses.
