Torr
Definition
A torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, or approximately 133.322 pascals. It is nearly equivalent to one millimeter of mercury (mmHg).
History
The torr was named after Evangelista Torricelli, the Italian physicist who invented the mercury barometer in 1644. It was defined to provide a convenient way to express vacuum and low-pressure measurements.
Current use
Torr is widely used in vacuum science, semiconductor manufacturing, and laboratory settings for measuring low pressures. It remains a standard unit in physics and materials processing.
Megapascals (MPa)
Definition
A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000,000 pascals or 1,000 kilopascals. It is used for expressing very high pressures.
History
The megapascal became the standard unit for material science and structural engineering as SI units spread globally. It replaced older units like kgf/cm² in many engineering specifications.
Current use
Megapascals are the standard unit for expressing tensile strength, yield strength, and compressive strength of materials. Concrete, steel, and composite material specifications use MPa worldwide.
