What are Torr and PSI

Definition of Torr

Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, roughly equivalent to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). Precisely, 1 Torr equals 133.322 pascals. It is a convenient unit for many scientific calculations involving low pressures where the use of atmospheres or pascals would be unwieldy.

Definition of PSI

PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure expressed in terms of weight (pound-force) applied over an area of one square inch. It is widely used in various industries, such as automotive and mechanical engineering, to gauge the pressure of gases or liquids. One PSI is equal to the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
