I looked at the document at that site. It has the most delightful typo:
1 barometric inch of
mercury =3 386.388 640 341 Pascal 3
1 inch of water =249.088 91 rascals
I'm not sure what the 3 is for after Pascal (which should, of course, not be
capitalized). However, it's the last of those three lines that really
tickled my funny bone.
Ya gotta watch out for those rascals. <g>
