Convert torr to gigapascal
Please provide values below to convert torr [Torr] to gigapascal [GPa], or Convert gigapascal to torr.
1 Torr = 1.33322368e-07 GPa. To convert torr to gigapascal, multiply the value by 1.33322368e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GPa = 7500616.85073 Torr). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Torr = 1.33322368e-07 GPa
- 1 GPa = 7500616.85073 Torr
- 10 Torr = 1.33322368e-06 GPa
- 100 Torr = 1.33322368e-05 GPa
How to Convert Torr to Gigapascal
1 Torr = 1.33322368e-07 GPa
Example: convert 15 Torr to GPa:
15 Torr = 15 × 1.33322368e-07 GPa = 1.99983552e-06 GPa

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in fields like vacuum technology, physics, and medicine (e.g., blood pressure measurements), although it has largely been replaced by the pascal in most scientific contexts.
Gigapascal
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the force of one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The gigapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure high-pressure phenomena, especially in materials science and geophysics, as a larger unit than the pascal for convenience.
Current Use
GPa is commonly used to quantify stress, pressure in geological formations, material strength, and high-pressure physics applications.
