a unit of pressure equal to 1333.22 dynes/cm2, or 1.33322 millibars. One torr is the pressure required to support a column of mercury 1 mm high when the mercury is of standard density and subjected to standard acceleration. These standard conditions are 0Â° C and 45Â° latitude, where the acceleration of gravity is 980.6 cm/sec2.
