or in simple terms 10 to -6 torr is .000001 of 1/760th of an atmosphere

(one atmosphere being 14.7PSI) so 14.7PSI * .000001 / 760 = 1.934 * 10 to -8

in PSI it would be 0.00000001934 PSI or as a fraction

1.934
------------- PSI
100,000,000

Someone please check my math to make sure I have all the decimal points correct. I came up with 1.9342105e-8 PSI
