What are Torr and Megapascal

A Torr is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, roughly equivalent to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). One Torr is equal to 133.322 pascals in the SI system. This unit is commonly used in vacuum measurements and some medical contexts.

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one million pascals. It is widely used in material science and engineering to express the tensile strength, young's modulus, and stress of materials. One MPa corresponds to approximately 145.038 pounds per square inch (psi), making it a convenient unit for high-pressure measurements.

History of Torr and Megapascal

The Torr to Megapascal Converter stems from the need to simplify and standardize pressure conversions. Historically, different units like Torr were used based on the mercury column height. With technology progression, the Megapascal became a universal unit for recording pressure in various scientific and engineering fields, leading to the creation of converters.
