What does one Torr represent in terms of pressure?

One Torr is a unit of pressure equal to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, approximately 133.322368 pascals, used to measure low pressures and vacua.

Why convert Torr to Gigapascal?

Converting Torr to Gigapascal helps translate low vacuum pressure values into very high pressure units used in materials science and engineering stress analysis.

Is Torr suitable for measuring very high pressures?

No, Torr is intended for low pressure measurements, while Gigapascal is better suited for very high pressure and mechanical stress.
