What is torr?

A torr is a pressure unit equal to approximately 1/760 of an atmosphere. It is used in vacuum technology, low-pressure experimental physics, and blood pressure measurement in older clinical literature.

What is atmosphere?

An atmosphere (atm) is a pressure unit equal to mean atmospheric pressure at sea level, approximately 101,325 pascals. It is used as a reference in chemistry, diving tables, and altitude calculations.

Worked examples

1 torr = 0.00131579 atmosphere

1 atmosphere = 101,325 pascal
