torr

[tôr]

Etymology: Evangelista Torricelli, Italian physicist, 1608-1647

a unit of pressure equal to 1333.22 dynes/cm², or 1.33322 millibars. One torr is the pressure required to support a column of mercury 1 mm high when the mercury is of standard density and subjected to standard acceleration. These standard conditions are 0° C and 45° latitude, where the acceleration of gravity is 980.6 cm/sec². In reading a mercury barometer at other temperatures and latitudes, corrections commonly exceeding 2 torr may be required to compensate for the thermal expansion of the measuring scale used.

torr [tor]

a unit of pressure equal to one millimeter of mercury (mm Hg), or 133.3 pascals.

torr (tōr),

n a unit of pressure equivalent to 0.001316 atmosphere; named after the physicist Torricelli. Also called
mm Hg.
