Why convert torr to kilopascal?

Converting from torr to kilopascal helps translate vacuum and low-pressure measurements into the SI system, facilitating standardization and comparison in engineering and scientific work.

Is the conversion factor constant for all conditions?

The conversion factor assumes exact constants and does not account for variables like temperature or environmental factors that might affect pressure readings.

Can this conversion be used for very high pressures?

Torr is primarily used for low pressure; applying this conversion to high pressures is uncommon and may not provide meaningful results.
