What are Torr and Inch

Definition of Torr

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (atm). Essentially, one Torr is the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury (Hg) at 0 degrees Celsius. It provides a convenient measure for low to moderate vacuum levels and is often used in various scientific and engineering 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 1/12 of a foot and is further divided into 12 smaller units known as points. Historically, an inch was also considered the equivalent of three grains of barley placed end to end lengthwise. Today, it is standardized at exactly 25.4 millimeters in the metric system, providing a crucial link between these two measurement systems.
