probably measured on a cliff top in Sweden? a std
atmosphere is 14.696 psia - 100,000 pascals ( not a
million) is very close to a bar at 14.506 psia, and a
Kg/cm^2 -is 14.223 also close but no cigar - just far
enough off to burn up in the atmosphere of Mars
instead of orbit.

NO standards really....<G>

I'm no EE or ME but sure can see the problems.......
