Paul, Now you've got my curiosity going. What is 120/80, or whatever else anyone has? Is it a gauge pressure, relative to the absolute 760 mm atmospheric pressure? (So the absolute is say, 880/840, etc)
Guess you don't want you doctor giving you your blood pressure in megapascals! Nat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Trusten, R.Ph.

Is mm Hg now only a U.S. measure? What about Canada? India? South Africa? What about other countries? -- Paul Trusten, R.Ph. Public Relations Director U.S. Metric Association, Inc.
