Convert Torr to Bars

1 torr is 0.001333 bar. One torr is exactly 0.00133322368421 bars.

One torr is 0.0013332237 bars. To convert torr to bars, multiply by 0.0013332237; to go the other way, divide by 0.0013332237 or multiply by 750.06168. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. Exactly one seven-hundred-and-sixtieth of a standard atmosphere.

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.

What is a bar?

Exactly 100,000 pascals by definition, chosen because it sits within a per cent of atmospheric pressure at sea level. European tyre placards and dive computers use it.

How many bars are in a torr?

One torr is 0.0013332237 bars. Going the other way, one bar is 750.06168 torr. 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.
