Convert Kilopascals to Torr
1 kilopascal is 7.500617 Torr. One kilopascal is exactly 7.50061682704 torr.
One kilopascal is 7.5006168 torr. To convert kilopascals to torr, multiply by 7.5006168; to go the other way, divide by 7.5006168 or multiply by 0.13332237. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. A thousand pascals, and the unit metric tyre placards and weather stations use.

How do you convert kilopascals to torr?
- 1.Take the measurement in kilopascals.
- 2.Multiply by 7.5006168 — that is how many torr fit in one kilopascal.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 7.5006168, or multiply by 0.13332237.
Worked example: 25 kilopascals to torr

What is a kilopascal?
A thousand pascals, and the unit metric tyre placards and weather stations use. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa.
What is a torr?
Exactly one seven-hundred-and-sixtieth of a standard atmosphere. Within a millionth of a millimetre of mercury, which is what it replaced, and still the unit of vacuum work.
How many torr are in a kilopascal?
One kilopascal is 7.5006168 torr. Going the other way, one torr is 0.13332237 kilopascals. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
