Unit Information

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).

Atmosphere (atm)

Definition

The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to 101,325 Pa. It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity.

Current Use

The atmosphere is used in chemistry, physics, and meteorology as a reference point for standard conditions of pressure.
