Convert Torr to Kilopascal
Convert Torr to Kilopascal by dividing by 7.50062—common for vacuum and lab reporting.
How to Convert Torr to Kilopascal
To convert Torr to Kilopascal, divide Torr by 7.50062.
Conversion Formula:
value / 7.50062Understanding the Conversion
Torr to Kilopascal translates vacuum readings into a metric unit common in engineering. Divide Torr by 7.50062. For example, 760 Torr ≈ 101.325 kPa (atmosphere). Use when your system reports in Torr but your audience or calculations need kPa.
Conversion Examples
Example: Convert 760 Torr to kPa
- Step 1: 760 ÷ 7.50062 ≈ 101.325.
- Step 2: Result ≈ 101.325 kPa.
- Step 3: Atmospheric reference.
760 Torr ≈ 101.325 kPa
Sea-level pressure.
Example: Convert 75 Torr to kPa
- Step 1: 75 ÷ 7.50062 ≈ 9.999.
- Step 2: Result ≈ 10 kPa.
- Step 3: Rough vacuum example.
75 Torr ≈ 10 kPa
Rough vacuum level.
Example: Convert 1 Torr to kPa
- Step 1: 1 ÷ 7.50062 ≈ 0.1333.
- Step 2: Result ≈ 0.133 kPa.
- Step 3: Low absolute pressure.
1 Torr ≈ 0.133 kPa
Low pressure example.
Conversion Formula
Because 1 kPa ≈ 7.50062 Torr, dividing Torr by 7.50062 converts to kPa.

Unit Definitions
Torr (Torr)
Vacuum unit.
1 Torr ≈ 0.133322 kPa; 1 atm = 760 Torr = 101.325 kPa.
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric pressure unit.
kPa to Torr multiply by 7.50062; kPa to Pa multiply by 1000.
Common Use Cases
- Vacuum system outputs to kPa displays
- Engineering reports expecting kPa
