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.
What is Megapascal?
The megapascal equals one million pascals and is widely used in materials and structural engineering. Concrete compressive strength typically ranges from 21 to 35 MPa, and steel tensile strength ranges from about 400 to 800 MPa. Hydraulic equipment operates at pressures of tens of megapascals. The unit is essential for specifying material properties, bolt preloads, and pressure vessel ratings in industrial applications.
