Converting from Torr (Torr) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

What is Torr (Torr)

Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high at 0 degrees Celsius under standard gravity.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and other countries. It measures the force exerted on a surface area in pounds per square foot.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Torr to psf, you can use the formula:

Pressure in psf=Pressure in Torr×2.784496

To convert from psf to Torr, you can use the formula:

Pressure in Torr=Pressure in psf×0.3591315

Examples

1. Converting 9 Torr to psf:

9 Torr×2.784496=25.06046 psf

2. Converting 5 Torr to psf:

5 Torr×2.784496=13.92248 psf

3. Converting 14 psf to Torr:

14 psf×0.3591315=5.027841 Torr

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert between Torr and psf to meet your specific pressure measurement needs.
