What are Dyne and Torr

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It's a fundamental concept in physics, representing a small but measurable quantity of force.

The torr is a unit of pressure, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (atm). Historically, it was intended to represent the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at the Earth's surface, which approximates to one torr.

History of Dyne and Torr

The Dyne per Square Centimeter to Torr Converter has roots in the fields of physics and engineering. It bridges two historical units of pressure: the dyne, from the CGS system, and the torr, named after Evangelista Torricelli, which measures pressure based on mercury's height in a barometer.
