What are Torr and Bar

Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, renowned for his discovery of the principle of the barometer. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, roughly equal to the pressure exerted by a 1-millimeter column of mercury (mmHg) at sea level. It is a non-SI unit but is accepted for use with the International System of Units.

The bar is a metric unit of pressure, not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 pascals. This makes one bar comparable to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. The bar is widely used in various scientific contexts, as well as in meteorology, oceanography, and geology for reporting atmospheric pressures.
