What are Torr and Foot

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (approximately 133.322368 pascals). It is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician, who is credited with inventing the barometer in 1643. This unit is commonly used in vacuum measurements and rarely in blood pressure readings, signifying the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

A foot, also known as a foot (international), is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 0.3048 meters exactly and is subdivided into 12 inches. Historically, it was based on the human foot and its size has varied considerably over time, with different definitions adopted by various countries at different times. The international yard and pound agreement of 1959 defined the foot based on the metric system as the standard of length.

History of Torr and Foot
