What are Torr and Kilogram-force/sq.mm

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury, or 133.322 pascals. Torr is a non-SI unit but is accepted for use with the International System of Units.

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a pressure unit that denotes the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square millimeter. It's a metric unit of pressure often used in material science and engineering to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other properties of materials under various conditions.
