About Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is the most common pressure unit in the United States, used for tire pressure (typically 30-35 psi for passenger cars), air compressor ratings, and water pressure in plumbing. Fire hydrants deliver water at 40-80 psi, and scuba tank pressures reach 3,000 psi.
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.
