What are Atmosphere and Torr

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (Pascals). It's equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 1 cm high column of mercury at the Earth's surface at 15 degrees Celsius.

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury.

History of Atmosphere and Torr

The concept of standard atmosphere originated in the 19th century as scientists sought to create reference values for atmospheric pressure. Torricelli's invention of the barometer led to the Torr unit, facilitating precise pressure measurement. Conversion between atm and Torr became fundamental in scientific research and industrial applications.
