About Megapascals
A megapascal (MPa) = 10⁶ Pa = 10 bar - standard unit for mechanical stress, material strength, and high-pressure engineering. Structural material yield strengths: mild steel 250-550 MPa; high-strength steel to 2,000 MPa; carbon fibre composites 1,500-7,000 MPa tensile. Hydraulic press pressures 50-200 MPa. Mariana Trench floor ~110 MPa. Concrete compressive strength: 25-40 MPa (normal); up to 150 MPa (high-performance). Water-jet cutting: 200-600 MPa. Elastic moduli in FEM analysis are in MPa or GPa. 1 MPa = 10⁶ Pa = 145.0 psi.
About Torr
The torr is defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere ≈ 133.322 Pa - effectively replacing mmHg with an exact definition. Named after Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), inventor of the barometer. Vacuum science universally uses torr: rough vacuum 760-1 torr; medium vacuum 1-10⁻³ torr; high vacuum 10⁻³-10⁻⁷ torr; ultra-high vacuum below 10⁻⁹ torr. UHV systems for surface science, particle accelerator beam tubes, and space simulation chambers reach 10⁻¹¹-10⁻¹² torr. 1 torr = 133.322 Pa.
