What is Kilopascal?

The kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals and is commonly used for tire pressure specifications. A typical passenger car tire is inflated to about 220 to 250 kPa. Some blood pressure monitors also display readings in kilopascals. In industry, gas pipeline pressures and hydraulic system pressures may be expressed in kPa. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.325 kPa.

What is Torr?

The torr is a unit of pressure named after Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately 133.3 pascals. The torr is widely used in vacuum technology, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, where process chambers operate at pressures from 10 to the minus 3 to 10 to the minus 8 torr. While nearly identical to the millimeter of mercury, the torr is defined independently.
