How can you possibly suggest that it would be more "practical" to use kPa? "Jukka K. Korpela" wrote in message . .. Because one digit less is needed, and conversions are easier when powers of 1,000 are used as normally. I forgot to mention in my response, BTW, that the same number of digits *is* required. Aviation applications require a precision of 100 Pa in measured pressures. Your choice is between 1013 hPa or 101.3 kPa. By adding the "daycimal", you simply make it more difficult for pilots to say.
