What is a torr used for?

The torr measures low pressures and vacua, commonly used in vacuum systems, semiconductor processes, and instruments like mass spectrometers.

What does kip-force per square inch represent?

Kip-force per square inch (ksi) quantifies high mechanical stresses, such as yield strength of steel and stresses in structural components.

Why convert from torr to kip-force/square inch?

Users convert between these units to correlate low pressure data with high-stress engineering units, aiding integration across fields like vacuum technology and structural engineering.
