  • Happy, that you dodged that bullet, op!

    May I use this opportunity to rage about the unit “PSI”? Feel free to ignore.

    PSI is a stupid measurement. Sensibly one would use Pascal, hectopascal or Bar (which is 100 kPa).

    But even within the us standard or imperial system it makes no sense. Pounds per square inch. Who uses s for square? It’s already taken by second. Square is the unit to the power 2. Pounds isn’t “p” either, it’s lbs aka “libras”. And inch is not “i”, it’s "

    So it should be lbs/"² .
