Well, maybe dreadful, but effective for some audiences that can intuit liters fairly well as a quart, but are not so confident wandering from the world of psig. The tidy units are 25 bar liter and 200 bar liter respectively. The other problem with the tidy units is it often sets my audience to dreaming of beer at the local micro-brewery. Now perhaps I should be off to get a cold liter at the bar.

Considering that a litre is 1.06 US quart, I would have thought that 1368 psig-pints would be more logical. But a US pint is 1.04375 pounds, so 1428 psig-pounds would be even more logical. But again, that is 1428 square pounds per square inch. (;-) > -- > OOO - Own Opinions Only.
