Convert pascal to torr
Please provide values below to convert pascal [Pa] to torr [Torr], or Convert torr to pascal.
1 Pa = 0.00750061685073 Torr. To convert pascal to torr, multiply the value by 0.00750061685073; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Torr = 133.322368 Pa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Pa = 0.00750061685073 Torr
- 1 Torr = 133.322368 Pa
- 10 Pa = 0.0750061685073 Torr
- 100 Pa = 0.750061685073 Torr
How to Convert Pascal to Torr
1 Pa = 0.0075006168507298 Torr
Example: convert 15 Pa to Torr:
15 Pa = 15 × 0.0075006168507298 Torr = 0.112509252760947 Torr

Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
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in fields like vacuum technology, physics, and medicine (e.g., blood pressure measurements), although it has largely been replaced by the pascal in most scientific contexts.
