Conversion formula

Forward
millibars = torr ร— 1.33322
Reverse
torr = millibars ร— 0.7501

Example: 10 Torr ร— 1.33322 = 13.3322 mbar.

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.

Millibar

mbar

The millibar equals 100 pascals or 1/1000 bar. It is the traditional unit for atmospheric pressure in meteorology (now called hectopascal, hPa, but numerically identical). Sea-level pressure averages 1013 mbar.

Real-world: Sea-level average: 1013 mbar. Deep low-pressure storm: below 980 mbar. Hurricane eye: below 920 mbar.

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 millibars in a torr?
One torr equals 1.33322 millibars.
How do I convert torr to millibars?
Multiply the torr value by 1.33322 to get the equivalent in millibars.
