pound per square inch to torr Conversion Formula

To convert from pound per square inch (psi) to torr (torr), use the following formula:

 torr (torr)\textbf{ torr} \text{ (torr)}

=11000×10.00014503768078×760000101325× pound per square inch (psi)= \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{0.00014503768078} \times \frac{760000}{101325}\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}

=51.714952877790338782× pound per square inch (psi)= 51.714952877790338782\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}

With 10.00014503768078\frac{1}{0.00014503768078} is the ratio between the base units kilopascal (kPa) and kilopound per square inch (ksi).

Example

Let's convert 5 pound per square inch (psi) to torr (torr).

Using the formula:

5×51.714952877790338782=258.574764388951693915 \times 51.714952877790338782 = 258.57476438895169391

Therefore, 5 pound per square inch (psi) is equal to 258.57476438895169391258.57476438895169391 torr (torr).
