How to Convert Kilograms per Square Meter to Torr
To convert a measurement in kilograms per square meter to a measurement in torr, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 0.073556 torr/kilogram per square meter.
Since one kilogram per square meter is equal to 0.073556 torr, you can use this simple formula to convert:
torr = kilograms per square meter × 0.073556
The pressure in torr is equal to the pressure in kilograms per square meter multiplied by 0.073556.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilograms per square meter to torr using the formula above.
torr = (5 kg/m² × 0.073556) = 0.36778 Torr
Kilograms per square meter and torr are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Are Kilograms per Square Meter?
One kilogram per square meter is the pressure of equal to one kilogram-force per square meter.
The kilogram per square meter is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. A kilogram per square meter is sometimes also referred to as a kilogram per square metre or kilogram-force per meter square. Kilograms per square meter can be abbreviated as kg/m², and are also sometimes abbreviated as kgf/cm². For example, 1 kilogram per square meter can be written as 1 kg/m² or 1 kgf/cm².
In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[1] For example, kg/m² is expressing a change in weight relative to a change in area.
The unit is deprecated and not permitted for use with SI units.
Kilograms per square meter can be expressed using the formula:
1 kgf/m2 = 1 kgf / m2
Pressure in kilograms per square meter are equal to the kilogram-force divided by the area in square meters.

What Is a Torr?
The torr is a measure of pressure equal to 1/760 of an atmosphere. Torr is based on an absolute scale of pressure, which is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure plus the gauge pressure.
The torr is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. Torr can be abbreviated as Torr; for example, 1 torr can be written as 1 Torr.
