How to convert bar to torr?

To convert pressure from bar to torr, you need to know the conversion factor between the two units. 1 bar is approximately equal to 750.062 torr. Here’s the conversion process:

1 bar = 100,000 Pascals (Pa)
1 torr = 1/760 atmospheric pressure or about 133.322 Pa

So, to convert 1 bar to torr:

1 bar / (101325 Pa/atm) * (760 torr/atm) = 0.986923267 atm * 760 torr/atm ≈ 750.062 torr

Therefore, 1 bar is approximately equal to 750.062 torr.

Real-World Examples of Bar

  1. Atmospheric Pressure:

    • Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 1 bar.
  2. Tire Pressure:

    • Typical car tire pressures range between 2 to 3 bar (approximately 29 to 44 psi).
  3. Scuba Diving:

    • Scuba tanks are often filled to a pressure of about 200 bars.
  4. Blood Pressure:

    • Blood pressure in arterial vessels is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), but it can be converted to bar. Normal blood pressure is about 0.0012 to 0.0016 bar (120/80 mmHg).
  5. Weather Forecasts:

    • Barometric pressure in weather forecasts is frequently given in millibars (mbar). Standard atmospheric pressure is 1013.25 mbar, which equals 1.01325 bar.

Conversion Summary

1 bar ≈ 750.062 torr
1 bar = 1000 millibar (mbar)
1 bar ≈ 14.5038 psi (pounds per square inch)
1 bar ≈ 0.987 atmospheres (atm)

Understanding these conversions and real-world applications can help provide context for when these pressure units are applicable.

What is a bar?

The bar is a metric unit that measure the pressure. Equivalent unit Pascal (Pa) used in SI units to measure pressure. 1 bar is same as 100 kilopascals or 1 hectopascal (hPa).

What is torr?

A unit of pressure!

One torr (symbol: Torr) is a non-SI unit of pressure that is commonly used in scientific and technical applications, particularly in fields like physics, chemistry, and engineering.

The torr is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 mm high when the temperature is at standard conditions. It's equivalent to 1/760 of an atmosphere (atm), which is a more commonly used unit of pressure.

To give you a better idea, here are some approximate conversions:

  • 1 torr = 0.00133 atm
  • 1 torr = 13.3 mbar (millibars)
  • 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg (millimeters of mercury)

The torr is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist who invented the barometer in 1643.

In everyday life, you're unlikely to encounter torrs directly, but they are often used in laboratory settings and industrial applications where precise pressure measurements are crucial.
