Description
There are 2 Pressure units for what I think is technically the same thing: Pounds per square inch
PoundForcePerSquareInch is defined with a conversion factor of 6894.75788951576 and Psi is 6.89464975179*1e3.
I cannot determine where the Psi factor came from. I cannot locate this in any references I checked. While these are certainly very close, they are different.
I believe the following issues should be addressed:
-
There should not be 2 different unit entries for this.
-
Psi should be removed and the "psi" abbreviation added to PoundForcePerSquareInch. I further think "psi" should be the first/preferred abbreviation.
-
The conversion factor for PoundForcePerSquareInch should be adjusted to 6.894757293168e3. This isn't very critical, but so long as the current conversion has a large number of significant digits, they should be correct.
