Add Torr to Pressure Unit Conversion

Open JacobPoteet opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Problem Statement

The Torr is not available as a pressure unit that can be converted in the Calculator

Evidence or User Insights

The unit is most commonly used in the field of vacuum physics and technology, where pressures are much lower than the Earth's atmospheric pressure. The Torr is particularly useful in applications and scientific research where fine distinctions in low pressures are necessary, such as in the manufacturing of vacuum tubes, in some types of chromatography, and in the study of gas-phase chemistries and physics.

Proposal

Implement an option to convert to/from Torr units in the Pressure Converter Section

Goals

  • Add Torr to the list of pressure conversions

Non-Goals

Low-Fidelity Concept 1 Torr == 1/760 atm

Requested Assignment

I can implement this. I have already written the code
