About These Units
Torr (Torr)
A torr equals approximately 1 mmHg or 1/760 of an atmosphere. Torr measures vacuum pressure in scientific and industrial applications. Named after Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, inventor of the barometer. High vacuum is below 10⁻³ torr.
Pound per Square Foot (psf)
Pounds per square foot (psf or lbf/ft²) measures structural loads, wind pressure, and floor loading in US construction. Building codes specify floor loads in psf (residential: 40 psf, commercial: 50-100 psf). One psf equals approximately 47.88 Pascals.
