Converting from Torr (Torr) to Foot of Water (ftH₂O)

What is Torr (Torr)

Torr is a unit of pressure used in the field of physics and engineering. It is named after the Italian scientist Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the barometer. 1 Torr is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter (mm) high at 0 degrees Celsius.

What is Foot of Water (ftH₂O)

Foot of Water (ftH₂O) is another unit of pressure commonly used in certain industries. It is defined as the pressure exerted at the base of a column of water 1 foot high at 4 degrees Celsius.
