inch of mercury [inHg]
Definition: The inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the height of a column of mercury in inches.
Historyandorigin: Inches of mercury have been used historically to measure atmospheric pressure, especially in weather instruments and barometers.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used in the United States to measure atmospheric pressure and altimeter settings in aviation.
funfact: One inch of mercury is roughly equivalent to 33.8639 hPa (hectopascals), a more common unit for pressure.
torr [Torr]
Definition: The torr is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760th of an atmosphere, or approximately 133.322 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Named after Evangelista Torricelli, who invented the barometer, the torr was used for vacuum measurements and in scientific applications.
CurrentUse: It is used in vacuum physics and engineering, particularly in the field of gas pressure measurements.
funfact: The torr is often used in scientific experiments involving very low pressures or vacuums.

How to Convert inch of mercury to torr
1 inch of mercury [inHg] = 25.400014561 torr [Torr]
1 torr [Torr] = 0.0393700562 inch of mercury [inHg]
we use cross multiplication method
inch of mercury [inHg] → torr [Torr]
1 → 25.400014561
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*25.400014561=1*x
by simplifying
x=38.100021841
