What are Torr and Newton/square millimeter

A Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as exactly 1/760th of a standard atmosphere, which equates to approximately 133.322368 pascals. The Torr is traditionally used in vacuum measurements and represents a small fraction of atmospheric pressure.

The Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a derived SI unit of pressure, stress, and tensile strength. It represents the force of one Newton acting on an area of one square millimeter. This unit is a measure of how much force is applied over a specific area and is commonly used in materials science and engineering disciplines.

History of Torr and Newton/square millimeter

The Torr to Newton per square millimeter converter is rooted in the need to bridge traditional and modern measurement systems. Initially, pressure was commonly measured in Torr, reflecting the physical experiment setups. However, with the advent of SI units, the need for conversion to N/mm² became pivotal for standardization in scientific and engineering communities.
