How to Convert Torr to Kilopascals

To convert torr to kilopascals, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 0.1333224 kilopascals/torr.

Since one torr is equal to 0.1333224 kilopascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilopascals = torr × 0.1333224

The pressure in kilopascals is equal to the pressure in torr multiplied by 0.1333224.

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

kilopascals = (5 Torr × 0.1333224) = 0.6666118 kPa

How Many Kilopascals Are in a Torr?

There are 0.1333224 kilopascals in a torr, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 Torr = 0.1333224 kPa|1 kPa = 7.5006168 Torr

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

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

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). [1]

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.

What Is a Kilopascal?

A kilopascal is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals (Pa), the base unit for pressure. Equal to 1,000 Pascals (1 kN/m²). [2]

The kilopascal is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of pressure. Kilopascals can be abbreviated as kPa; for example, 1 kilopascal can be written as 1 kPa.

In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilopascal (kPa) a convenient decimal multiple of the pascal (Pa).

In practice, kilopascals (kPa) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level pressure specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting pressure between torr (Torr) and kilopascals (kPa), keep full floating-point precision (1 Torr = 0.1333224 kPa; 1 kPa = 7.5006168 Torr) during intermediate calculations and round only the final kilopascal figure to match your instrument tolerance.
