What are Torr and atm as Pressure Units?
Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian scientist Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the barometer. One Torr is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high at the standard acceleration of gravity. In contrast, atm (Atmosphere) is a unit of pressure equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level, approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi).

Torr to atm Conversion Formula
The conversion formula from Torr to atm is straightforward: 1 Torr = 1/760 atm. This means that to convert a value in Torr to atm, you simply need to divide the Torr value by 760.
Examples
Let’s take a look at a few examples to illustrate the process:
- 500 Torr = 500 / 760 = 0.658 atm
- 1000 Torr = 1000 / 760 = 1.316 atm
- 250 Torr = 250 / 760 = 0.329 atm
