What is the millipascal unit used for?

Millipascal is used for measuring very small pressure magnitudes, such as in microfluidics, MEMS devices, and sensitive acoustic instruments.

Why convert millipascal to torr?

Converting to torr allows pressure values to be expressed in a unit commonly used for low pressures and vacua, improving compatibility with vacuum system measurements.

Can this conversion be used for high-pressure measurements?

No, torr is primarily intended for vacuum and low-pressure conditions, so this conversion is not suitable for high-pressure scenarios.
