Understanding Torr
The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure named after Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. One torr is equal to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, making it approximately equal to 1 mmHg (millimeter of mercury).
Common Uses
- Vacuum technology and measurements
- Scientific research and laboratory work
- Medical and respiratory equipment
- Industrial processes requiring precise pressure control
