Convert torr to pound / square meter

Learn how to convert 1 torr to pound / square meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t o r r) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (t o r r) = \frac{101325.0}{760.0} (p a s c a l) = \frac{101325.0}{760.0} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = 4.4482216152605 (p a s c a l) = 4.4482216152605 (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t o r r) = x (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{101325.0}{760.0} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 4.4482216152605 \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{101325.0}{760.0} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 4.4482216152605 \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{101325.0}{760.0} \cdot (P a) = x \times 4.4482216152605 \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{101325.0}{760.0} = x \times 4.4482216152605

Switch sides

x \times 4.4482216152605 = \frac{101325.0}{760.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605})

x \times 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605} = \frac{101325.0}{760.0} \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605} = \frac{101325.0 \times 1.0}{760.0 \times 4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{101325.0}{760.0 \times 4.4482216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 29.972060736 \approx 29.9721

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t o r r) \approx 29.9721 (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e m e t e r})
