What are Kilopascal and Torr

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equivalent to 1000 pascals, where one pascal is the pressure exerted by a one-newton force acting on a one-square-meter area. Kilopascals are commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, stress, and tensile strength.

Definition of Torr

The torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (101325 pascals). It is approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at sea level. The torr is a convenient unit for many practical applications, including vacuum measurements and barometric pressure readings.
