What is a torr in pressure measurement?

A torr is a unit of pressure equivalent to 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, used mainly for low pressures and vacuum levels.

What does hectopascal represent?

The hectopascal is a metric pressure unit equal to 100 pascals and is widely used in meteorology to express atmospheric pressure.

Why convert from torr to hectopascal?

Converting torr to hectopascal helps relate vacuum and low-pressure measurements to atmospheric pressure values common in weather and industrial contexts.
