What are Torr and Inch

Definition of Torr

The unit 'Torr' is a measure of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist. It's defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which approximately equals the millimeters of mercury (mmHg) displaced in a barometer per Torr. This unit is commonly used in vacuum measurements and some medical fields.

Definition of Inch

An 'inch' is a unit of length in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters. Historically, an inch was also commonly understood to be the width of a person's thumb. Today, it is a standardized unit used widely in construction, engineering, and daily life.
