I guess you're talking about psi.
(No offense to you, dear Buffaloaf, I just looked it up and thought I might share).
For everyone of the 191 non-USA countries, 10 psi is 0,69 bar or 690 hPa. That's pretty low.
By the way, why is psi written in such a weird way? It should be lbs/ in^2
Because in^2 is generally said "square inches."
So it's "pounds per square inch."
Sometimes "per" will get its own letter, like in PPM - parts per million - and sometimes it's left off, as in PSI.
Thanks, friend :)
I know how it comes to be, I just think it's stupid.
For example, kW times h is not the same as kW per hour. That's why kWh means kilowatt times hour.
If I wrote ms to denote meters per second that would create massive confusion.
That is an excellent point. Yeah, PSI would totally read as pounds times square inches which would be something else entirely. Adding in the extra P would fix it, too. PPSI. Suppose it's another thing that people just have to get used to, haha.
I would even say, it reads as pounds times seconds times inch
Or pikoseconds times inch
Or pikoseconds times square root of -1 but now I'm being silly
Well, I don't have to get used to it, but some people seam to handle it well.
