What are Torr and Picopascal

A Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's equivalent to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a one-millimeter column of mercury at zero degrees Celsius. One Torr is also equivalent to 133.322368 pascals precisely. It is a non-SI unit but is accepted for use with the International System of Units.

A picopascal is a submultiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit for pressure. It represents a very small amount of pressure, where one picopascal (pPa) equals 10^-12 pascals. The pascal unit is defined as one newton of force applied over an area of one square meter. The picopascal is commonly used in science and engineering for very low-pressure measurements.

History of Torr and Picopascal

The concept of pressure conversion has its roots in scientific studies of atmospheric pressure and the need to quantify different pressure scales. The Torr to Picopascal converter is a modern tool that stems from this history, providing an easy-to-use platform for converting between these two units of pressure, aiding researchers, scientists, and professionals in various fields.
