What does the unit torr measure?

The torr measures low pressure and vacuum levels, defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere.

What is a ton-force (long)/square inch?

It is a legacy Imperial pressure unit representing the force of one long ton distributed per square inch of area.

Why convert from torr to ton-force (long)/square inch?

To compare modern vacuum pressure readings with older British engineering data expressed in legacy pressure units.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert pressure measurements from the torr unit, commonly used in vacuum systems, to the ton-force (long)/square inch unit, a legacy British pressure measurement used in heavy engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in torr you want to convert.
Select 'torr [Torr]' as the input unit and 'ton-force (long)/square inch' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent pressure value.

Key Features

Converts pressure values from torr to ton-force (long)/square inch accurately based on defined conversion rates.
Suitable for vacuum technology, semiconductor manufacturing, and historical pressure data analysis.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software.

Examples

100 Torr equals approximately 0.00086324887074229 ton-force (long)/square inch.
500 Torr converts to about 0.00431624435371145 ton-force (long)/square inch.

Common Use Cases

Measuring and reporting vacuum levels using legacy British engineering pressure units.
Comparing modern vacuum system readings with historical heavy machinery specifications.
Interpreting semiconductor process pressures in terms of older imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values are within the appropriate pressure range for torr units due to their use in low-pressure applications.
Be aware of the scale difference since ton-force (long)/square inch represents much larger pressures than torr.
Verify conversion results when using for critical engineering or scientific comparisons because of very small resultant values.

Limitations

Torr is intended for low pressures typical of vacuum environments, while ton-force (long)/square inch is a large and mostly historical pressure unit.
Conversions yield very small numbers due to the scale difference, so careful handling of precision and rounding is needed.
