Unit Definitions
What is a Kilopascal (kPa)?
A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals. It is widely used in various fields including meteorology and engineering.
History
The pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician and physicist. The kilopascal became a standard unit of measure in the SI system in the late 20th century.
Current Use
Kilopascals are commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure and are often seen in weather reports.

A torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of standard atmospheric pressure. It is commonly used in vacuum and gas pressure measurements.
History
The unit is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician. The torr was first introduced in the 17th century to describe the pressure exerted by a column of mercury.
Current Use
Torr is frequently used in scientific applications, especially in laboratories where precise pressure measurements are crucial.
