We need to set up a new advanced reading comprehension forum.....

Ok, sorry about the long tirade, but he used the word about and I think it made perfect sense to most readers.

BTW Brent I do totally agree with you here!

I am not however a fan of stretching an approximation quite that far. I do frequently make 100 KPA = 1 BAR = 30 inches HG (abs) = 15psi (abs) and that is a generalization but it makes the math easier for newbies to understand rather than 29.5x and 14.5X equaling 100 KPA etc. etc.
