hectopascal to torr
Please provide values below to convert hectopascal [hPa] to torr [Torr], or change ↔.
hectopascal [hPa]
Definition: The hectopascal (hPa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Historically, hectopascals were used in meteorology for easier handling of pressure values, as the pascal is quite small.
CurrentUse: It is still commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, particularly in weather reports.
funfact: Hectopascals are equivalent to millibars (mb), which is another unit commonly used in weather forecasting.
torr [Torr]
Definition: The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760th of an atmosphere, or approximately 133.322 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Named after Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the barometer, the torr was used for vacuum measurements and in scientific applications.
CurrentUse: It is used in vacuum physics and engineering, particularly in the field of gas pressure measurements.
funfact: The torr is often used in scientific experiments involving very low pressures or vacuums.

How to Convert hectopascal to torr
1 hectopascal [hPa] = 0.750062 torr [Torr]
1 torr [Torr] = 1.3332231202 hectopascal [hPa]
we use cross multiplication method
hectopascal [hPa] → torr [Torr]
1 → 0.750062
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.750062=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.125093
