Convert Standard atmosphere to torr
Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to torr [Torr], or Convert torr to Standard atmosphere.
1 atm = 760.0000024 Torr. To convert Standard atmosphere to torr, multiply the value by 760.0000024; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Torr = 0.00131578946953 atm). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 atm = 760.0000024 Torr
- 1 Torr = 0.00131578946953 atm
- 10 atm = 7600.000024 Torr
- 100 atm = 76000.00024 Torr
How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Torr
1 atm = 760.000002400197 Torr
Example: convert 15 atm to Torr:
15 atm = 15 × 760.000002400197 Torr = 11400.000036003 Torr

Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
Torr
The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at standard gravity and temperature, approximately equal to 133.322 pascals.
History/Origin
The torr was introduced by Evangelista Torricelli in 1644, based on his experiments with mercury barometers, as a unit to measure atmospheric pressure. It was historically used in meteorology and physics before the adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Today, the torr is primarily used in fields like vacuum technology, physics, and medicine (e.g., blood pressure measurements), although it has largely been replaced by the pascal in most scientific contexts.
