How to Convert megapascal to torrtorr

1 MPa = 7500.616827041697 torr
1 torr = 0.00013332236842105263 MPa

Example: convert 55 MPa to torr:
55 MPa = 55 x 7500.616827041697 = 412533.92548729334 torr

megapascal

Definition: The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.

History/origin: Like the pascal, the megapascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing large pressures.

Current use: Megapascals are frequently used in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, structural engineering, and geomechanics, for measuring the strength of materials, stresses in structures, and pressures in geological formations.

torr

Definition: The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. It is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician.

History/origin: The torr is based on the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high. It was originally defined in relation to the height of a mercury barometer.

Current use: The torr is used in vacuum technology, pressure measurement of low-pressure systems, and some areas of scientific research.
