Unit Information

Pound-force per square inch (psi)

Definition

Pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Current Use

PSI is the standard unit of pressure in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. It is commonly used for measuring tire pressure, fuel pressure, and in industrial and residential water systems.

Torr (torr)

Definition

The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. It is approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury.

Current Use

The torr is frequently used in high-vacuum physics and medicine (for blood pressure measurements, though often still referred to as mmHg).
