This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from Torr (mmHg) to pounds per square inch (psi).
Definition: Torr (mmHg)
A Torr (symbol: Torr), also known as millimeter of mercury (mmHg), is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a 1 mm high column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. It is commonly used in vacuum measurements and low-pressure applications.
Definition: Pound-force per Square Inch (psi)
A pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure used in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
Formula for Torr to Psi Conversion:
Pressure in psi = Pressure in Torr ÷ 51.7149
How to Convert Torr to Psi: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 760 Torr (which is equivalent to atmospheric pressure at sea level).
To convert it to psi:
760÷51.7149=14.696 psi
So, 760 Torr is equal to 14.696 psi.
