Getting Started

Installation

dotnet add package MarcusMedina.Units.Pressure

Targets net10.0 (C# 14.0).

Your first conversion

using MarcusMedina.Units.Pressure.Metric;
using MarcusMedina.Units.Pressure.US;
using MarcusMedina.Units.Pressure.Scientific;

// Create a Pressure from any supported unit
Pressure tire  = 32.Psi();
Pressure storm = 980.Hectopascals();

// Convert to whatever unit you need
double bar         = tire.ToBar();          // ≈ 2.21
double atmospheres = storm.ToAtm();         // ≈ 0.967

// Arithmetic works directly on Pressure values
Pressure total = tire + 1.Bar();

// Comparisons
bool higher = tire > storm;

The core idea

Pressure is a readonly struct that always stores its value internally as pascals. Every unit family — metric (Pa through GPa, plus bar/millibar/microbar), scientific/meteorological (atm, torr, mmHg, cmH₂O, inHg, inH₂O), and US customary (psi, psf, ksi) — is just a pair of extension methods: one that creates a Pressure by converting a raw number into pascals, and one (To...()) that converts back out. Because every Pressure shares the same internal representation, you can mix a US tire-pressure reading with a European weather-report hectopascal value in the same expression without ever risking a unit mismatch.
