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).

Millimeter mercury (0°C) (mmHg)

Definition

The millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimeter high at 0°C. Today it is defined as exactly 1/760 of an atmosphere.

Current Use

mmHg is widely used in medicine for measuring blood pressure and in various fields involving vacuum measurements and weather reports.
