150,000 feet = 2PSIA = 1.1 TORR = 0.043 inch Hg (near the valley of graph)
300,000 feet = 1.5PSIA = 0.00076 TORR = 0.00003 inch Hg (approx left side of graph)
Why would I use altitude? Because it gives meaning/relative feel to the Ivory soap crowd (the 99.44% of readers to which "Torr" has no meaning). If I had a chart with a different pressure scale, I would not have used this one.
