Convert Atmosphere to Torr

One atm equals 760 Torr. This converter allows you to easily convert between Atmosphere and Torr in real time.

Formula

atm × 760 = Torr

Example: 1 atm = 760 Torr

What is Atmosphere?

The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 pascals. It approximates the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. In diving, pressure increases by roughly 1 atm for every 10 meters of water depth, so at 30 meters the total pressure is about 4 atm. In chemistry, standard conditions for gases are defined at 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atm, making it a fundamental reference in thermodynamics and gas law calculations.

What is Torr?

The torr is a unit of pressure named after Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately 133.3 pascals. The torr is widely used in vacuum technology, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, where process chambers operate at pressures from 10 to the minus 3 to 10 to the minus 8 torr. While nearly identical to the millimeter of mercury, the torr is defined independently.
