What are Torr and Pound-force square Foot

Definition of Torr

Torr is a unit of pressure named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician who invented the barometer. One Torr is equivalent to 1/760th of an atmosphere (atm), approximately equal to 133.322 Pascals (Pa). It is commonly used in high-vacuum physics and engineering applications to measure very low pressures. Its precise definition and widespread usage make it an essential unit for scientific research and industrial processes where accurate pressure measurement is critical.

Definition of Pound-force square Foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure that describes the amount of force applied over a one-square-foot area. One psf is defined as a force of one pound-force exerted over an area of one square foot. This unit is commonly used in engineering, construction, and meteorology to measure pressures exerted by structures, fluids, or atmospheric conditions. Its straightforward definition makes it a practical unit for various real-world applications, where understanding force distribution is crucial.
