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).

Kilopascal (kPa)

Definition

The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal, the SI unit of pressure. One kPa is equal to 1,000 pascals.

Current Use

The kilopascal is a common unit of pressure in many countries, used for measuring tire pressure, fluid pressure, and air pressure in various technical applications.
