How to Convert Atmospheres to Torr

To convert atmospheres to torr, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 760 torr/standard atmosphere.

Since one standard atmosphere is equal to 760 torr, you can use this simple formula to convert:

torr = atmospheres × 760

The pressure in torr is equal to the pressure in atmospheres multiplied by 760.

For example, here's how to convert 5 atmospheres to torr using the formula above.

torr = (5 atm × 760) = 3,800 Torr

How Many Torr Are in a Standard Atmosphere?

There are 760 torr in a standard atmosphere, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 atm = 760 Torr|1 Torr = 0.0013158 atm

Our standard atmosphere to torr calculator automatically converts your pressure measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Atmospheres and torr are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Standard Atmosphere?

A standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure equal to 101,325 pascals (Pa), the base unit for pressure. Standard sea-level atmospheric pressure defined as 101,325 Pascals. [1]

The standard atmosphere is classified as a standard unit of pressure. Atmospheres can be abbreviated as atm; for example, 1 standard atmosphere can be written as 1 atm.

When working with atmospheres (atm) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, atmospheres (atm) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level pressure specifications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a Torr?

A torr is a unit of pressure equal to 133.3223684 pascals (Pa), the base unit for pressure. 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (133.3224 Pascals). [2]

The torr is classified as a standard unit of pressure. Torr can be abbreviated as Torr; for example, 1 torr can be written as 1 Torr.

When working with torr (Torr) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, torr (Torr) are widely used across standard pressure applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting pressure between atmospheres (atm) and torr (Torr), keep full floating-point precision (1 atm = 760 Torr; 1 Torr = 0.0013158 atm) during intermediate calculations and round only the final torr figure to match your instrument tolerance.
