megapascal [MPa] to torr [torr] Converter
Quick Reference
1 megapascal (MPa) = 7500.616827 torr (torr)
1 torr (torr) = 0.0001333223684 megapascal (MPa)
How to Convert megapascal to torr
1 MPa = 7500.616827 torr
1 torr = 0.0001333223684 MPa
To convert megapascal to torr, multiply the value by 7500.616827. To convert torr back to megapascal, divide by 7500.616827.
Example: convert 10 MPa to torr:
10 MPa = 10 x 7500.616827 = 75006.16827 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.
