The use of F and Bar/Psi made me stop reading as every other text in this field always uses K and Pa and I had no reference what they meant. I know bar and Pa can be easily converted but they are odd scales to use.
- pezezin 4y agoBar is very commonly used for vacuum systems, although recently I heard some of my co-workers demanding to use Pa, so it may change in the future.
- kataklasm 4y agoWhile I agree F should never be used in favor of K, bar is a common unit of pressure even in metric engineering projects. For strict calculations only using SI units is obviously the way to go. But for science communication and general conversation about engineering, just using bar is often a more easily understood unit because there are more day-to-day comparisons that the average person can make. And thus oftentimes it's easier to comprehend bar than it is Pa.
