  2. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar, and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to one centibar. The unit of measurement called standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as 101 325 Pa. [2]

  4. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N/m 2, or kg·m −1 ·s −2). This name for the unit was added in 1971; [6] before that, pressure in SI was expressed in newtons per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (lbf/in 2) and bar, are also in common use.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torr

    The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly ⁠ 1 / 760 ⁠ of a standard atmosphere (101325 Pa). Thus one torr is exactly ⁠ 101325 / 760 ⁠ pascals (≈ 133.32 Pa).
