ponds per squared inch Explanation: Pound is a unit of mass in one of the American systems of units, but in this context they are using the ¨technical system¨, where pound is a unit of force. Most probably you are faced with a mistake in the original, for pressure is normally expressed in pounds per squared inch (psi), and this is the normal unit of American pressure gauges. The conversion to bars or Pascals is staightforward. Greetings Enrique (an old Engineer) |

pounds per square inch Explanation: 'psi' - this is the usual measure of pressure in pumps - I'm not sure what the 'g' at the end means here. So you should not translate it merely by using the metric system but also consider the pounds pressure involved. Hope this solves your problem. |
