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).

Pascal (Pa)

Definition

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square meter.

Current Use

The pascal is widely used in science and engineering. However, for many everyday applications, it is a very small unit, so kilopascals (kPa) or megapascals (MPa) are more common.
