About both units

From

Torr

Torr

The torr equals 1/760 atm โ€” approximately 133.32 Pa. Essentially equivalent to mmHg but defined slightly differently. Used in vacuum-system engineering and older physics.

Real-world: Low-vacuum: 760 to 25 torr. High-vacuum: 10โปยณ to 10โปโน torr. Semiconductor fabrication: often below 10โปโถ torr.

Bar

bar

The bar equals 100,000 pascals โ€” slightly less than one atmosphere (1.01325 bar). It is a convenient unit for everyday pressures: tyre pressures, diving depth, weather fronts. Common in European engineering.

Real-world: Car tyre: 2.0โ€“2.5 bar. SCUBA at 10 m depth: 2 bar absolute. Fire hose: 5โ€“7 bar.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 Torr โ‰ˆ 1 mmHg (differ by ~1 ppm โ€” negligible in practice).
  • 1 atm = 760 Torr exactly.
  • Named after Evangelista Torricelli, inventor of the barometer.

Avoid these

  • Assuming torr and mmHg are truly identical โ€” they differ by ~10โปโท; only matters in metrology.
  • Using Torr in everyday context โ€” obscure outside vacuum engineering.
  • Mixing Torr and mTorr without specification.

Frequently asked questions

How many bars in a torr?
One torr equals 0.001333 bars.
How do I convert torr to bars?
Multiply the torr value by 0.001333 to get the equivalent in bars.
What is 100 torr in bars?
100 torr equals 0.1333 bars.
Is a torr bigger than a bar?
No. 1 torr equals 0.001333 bars, so one torr is smaller.
How to convert torr to bars without a calculator?
Multiply by 0 for a quick estimate; use a calculator for precise results.
