What is a torr used to measure?

A torr is used to quantify low pressures and vacua, often in laboratory vacuum systems, thin-film deposition, and semiconductor fabrication.

Where is psi commonly applied?

Psi is used to express pressure in automotive tire inflation, hydraulic systems, compressed gas cylinders, and some household water-pressure contexts.

Can I use this converter for very high pressures?

This conversion is generally suitable for low to moderate pressures; extreme precision or very high-pressure ranges may have limitations.
