What are Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Torr

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure, where one kgf/mm² is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in some fields such as material science and engineering to measure tensile strength, yield strength, or pressure stress levels.

Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which approximates the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at sea level at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. The Torr is widely used in vacuum measurements and barometric pressure calculations.

History of Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Torr

The Kilogram-force per square millimeter to Torr Converter has its roots in the need to bridge two different units of pressure measurement.
