What are Torr and Centipascal

Definition of Torr

Torr is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist. It is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is widely used in vacuum physics. One Torr is defined as 1/760 of standard atmospheric pressure, or exactly 133.3223684 pascals. It is a convenient unit for many practical applications due to its close approximation to the millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

Definition of Centipascal

The centipascal, symbolized as cPa, is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equivalent to one hundredth of a pascal, where one pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. The centipascal offers a fine scale for measuring small changes in pressure and is used in fields where precision is paramount. It is commonly applied in meteorology, material science, and engineering.
