So did the Russians (the Soviet Union, that is) some 30 years ago. Whether
the Russians and all the break-away republics continue the practice today, I
do not know.

I am told the Chinese use kilopascal for blood pressure.
My acupuncture person told me. She is Chinese; learned
acupuncture in Beijing. They even have a simple conversion of
mm Hg to kPa. Simply divide by 7.5. This is close enough
for the rest of us to use it.
