What are Psi and Torr

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, and tensile strength. It measures the amount of force applied in pounds on an area of one square inch.

Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

History of Psi and Torr

A brief history of the Psi to Torr conversion reflects the evolution of pressure measurement from the common Psi, a standard in the imperial system, to the Torr, honoring Torricelli's atmospheric pressure discoveries.
