Editing Torr (section)

==Nomenclature and common errors==
The unit name ''torr'' is written in [[letter case|lower case]], while its symbol ("Torr") is always written with an uppercase initial; including in combinations with prefixes and other unit symbols, as in "mTorr" (millitorr) or "Torr⋅L/s" (torr-litres per second).<ref>{{cite web |title=Rules and style conventions |url=http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/rules.html |publisher=NIST |access-date=29 September 2012}}</ref> The symbol (uppercase) should be used with prefix symbols (thus, mTorr and millitorr are correct, but mtorr and milliTorr are not).

The torr is sometimes incorrectly denoted by the symbol "T", which is the SI symbol for the [[tesla (unit)|tesla]], the unit measuring the strength of a magnetic field. Although frequently encountered, the alternative spelling "Tor" is incorrect.
