Factor1 Torr = 0.001315789 atm

Converter

Torr

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1atm

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
atm = Torr × 0.001315789

Multiply any value in torr (vacuum) by 0.001315789 to obtain the value in standard atmospheres (vacuum).

Worked example

Convert 760 Torr to atm.

  1. 01Start with 760 Torr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 760 × 0.001315789 = 1 atm.
Result760 Torr = 1 atm

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from Torr to atm?
1 Torr equals 0.001315789 atm. To convert, multiply the value in torr (vacuum) by 0.001315789.
How do I convert 1 Torr to atm?
1 Torr = 0.00131579 atm. For any value, multiply by 0.001315789.
How do I convert atm back to Torr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 760. So 1 atm = 760 Torr.
When would I need to convert torr (vacuum) to standard atmosphere (vacuum)?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between Torr and atm are common in vacuum-chamber instrumentation, pump-down endpoint specification, semiconductor and deposition process work, freeze-drying, electron-microscopy column pressure, vacuum metallurgy and HVAC / refrigeration service. Torr, mmHg and inHg dominate manometric vacuum gauges; mbar is standard on European instruments; micron Hg and mTorr cover high-vacuum work; Pa and kPa are the SI references. This category is vacuum / instrumentation intent — dimensionally the same as pressure, but kept separate so process-pressure searches and vacuum searches stay on the right page.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
