Megapascal To Torr Converter

Effortlessly Convert MPa to Torr with Precision

Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Megapascal to Torr with our intuitive tool, designed by Newtum for accurate and quick conversions.

What are Megapascal and Torr

The megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). One megapascal equals one million pascals or newtons per square meter. It's widely used in materials science and engineering to express the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and compressive strength of materials.

The torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. Traditionally, one torr was intended to be the same as one millimeter of mercury, but it now has a precise definition in terms of the pascal. It's often used in vacuum applications.

History of Megapascal and Torr

The conversion of megapascals to torr is a necessity in various scientific fields, especially where pressure measurements are critical. The history of this conversion tool reflects a blending of units from different measurement systems, the metric and the more traditional, to provide precision and interoperability for researchers, engineers, and technicians globally.
