Ha! Well, that's my mistake. Durn - ya try to get it right...
Of course 80 ZA-m^2 is eighty zettaamperes - meters squared!

I visited the European weather site and from there looked at North American
weather. For Canada you only get a Farenheit temperature map. In fact, it
is identical to the U.S. map. For Mexico, Central America, and Caribbean

I just taught the material on the kinetic theory of gases (overview,
not rigorous) and the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) in my lecture. A few of my
students were dismayed that I would not accept pressures in atmospheres
but insisted on pascals. They pointed out that the Chemistry Department

The name 'pascal' was adopted by the CGMP in 1971 and appeared on U.S. tires
in the late 70s. Yet thirty years later, the old metric countries are still
fumbling around with a mishmash of obsolete metric pressure units. If these
countries find it so difficult to add a couple of zeroes to their

Does anyone have an electronic copy of a gage conversion chart? I had one
years ago but can't find the file. We have received an inquiry asking for
a gage to millimeter conversions. The chart we had listed gage to

This is probably why the gauge on the pump I describe is labeled both
"kg/cm2" and kPaX100. There's not a whole lot of difference between 98
kPa and 100 kPa -- especially considering that this is a cheap gauge! So
essentially it works out that the weight of 1 kg of matter sitting on 1

I agree. We should change too and do away with all those outdated Metric
Technical units.It seems that here, just as in the UK and the USA older
generations need to be replaced.
However, tire pumps in kPa are increasing now, but there is also dual ifp/SI
