About Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)
Millimeters of mercury is the standard unit for blood pressure readings worldwide (e.g., 120/80 mmHg for a healthy adult) and for barometric pressure in some contexts. The unit derives from the height of a mercury column in a manometer, and 760 mmHg equals one standard atmosphere.
About Torr (Torr)
Named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the mercury barometer in 1644, the torr is approximately equal to one millimeter of mercury. Vacuum technology, thin-film deposition, and freeze-drying processes specify pressures in torr, with ultra-high vacuum defined as below 10^-9 torr.
