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.
bar
Definition: The bar (symbol: bar) is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.
History/origin: The bar was introduced by British meteorologist William Napier Shaw in 1909.
Current use: The bar is used in various fields, including meteorology, diving (for measuring pressure underwater), and industrial applications. It is often used when a unit close to atmospheric pressure is convenient.
