The Brits are as bad when it comes to anything "foreign". Some years ago I sent a stylized version of http://www.grahamdavies.net/node/247 around the office. The response was two people rolling with laughter and thirty looking at it blankly.
_____ From: owner-u...@colostate.edu [mailto:owner-u...@colostate.edu] On Behalf Of Michael Payne Sent: 08 July 2009 21:58 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:45322] Yellow Jacket http://www.yellowjacket.com/images/A_Maniflds/Brute-II-C-hose.jpg Yellow Jacket is a company that makes equipment for servicing Air Conditioning equipment, both Home and Auto. The A/C guy was around my house and I noticed the guage had psi and kg/cm2 indications as well as Celsius and Fahrenheit. I wrote asking if they had guages marked in kilopascals. Here is the reply, just shows the total ignorance of most of the American population.

We do not make any gauges that read kilopascale. All of our metric gauges are sold for international companies. Sorry we could not help. Thank you.

I notice you have a gauge that includes kg/cm2 which is not an SI unit. See:http://www1.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter2/2-2/table3.html Michael Payne
