What are Picopascal and Torr

A picopascal is a unit of pressure equal to one trillionth of a pascal, the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). Picopascals are used for measuring extremely low pressures, often in scientific research where precision is paramount. Understanding this unit is crucial for fields like atmospheric science and material physics, where subtle pressure differences can have significant effects.

A torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, roughly equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). Torr is commonly used in vacuum applications and barometry, providing a convenient unit for measuring pressures close to zero but above a perfect vacuum.
