I should clarify, this is my personal preference, for ease of conversion. I wish we stuck to consistent intervals. They're all valid, just that I find it very lovely that in industrial/construction we don't use cm (in Australia)

But there are so many various pressure units in use, which is a slight inconvenience. Pa, Bar, atm, cm-water, are the ones I've come across in actual use so far. (Metric engineering context, RIP US engineers)

Makes it necessary for me to use a calculator to make sure I'm not messing something up. kPa to mbar: okay *bar/(100 kPa) * 1000 mbar/bar (which I'm now noticing is hPa)

So in addition to my preference for consistent prefix intervals, let's also stop using Bar, cm-water, and anything else that's not Pa. That'd be nice ☺️
