Re: Torr and mmHg ??
I fixed both mm.Hg ≠ Torr (and in.Hg ≠ 25.4 Torr) to the correct non-NIST constants in 43C.
NIST and WA does not convince . BS and NPL do. I think WA and WikiDE and WikiFR ignore the facts. And NIST throws away the digits saying compressibility of mercury is varying. But at the same time they also don't chop off c's digits because of uncertainty to the medium - they expect you to consider that.
If you are still unsure maybe put the mmHg definition in your regional shortcut settings and add some logic for determining which countries use settings MULT⋅ and MULT×, and while you are at it, change the gap separator also to an optional "," to automatically default to that of the radix setting, also regional of course

You know, some people will use anything as long as it's not the metric system...
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

Re: Torr and mmHg ??
Not sure I got your point. What c are you talking about?
The c I know is speed of light in vacuum - no medium per definition. Thanks in advance for enlightenment (pun intended).

Re: Torr and mmHg ??
If my example is insufficient for your understanding, pick another example or just think about the original point. I think I said enough about mmHg, ending it with why I changed mine myself.

Re: Torr and mmHg ??
Thanks. Seems you're unable or unwilling to explain it. That isn't an advantage for your intention though.Jaymos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:17 pmIf my example is insufficient for your understanding, pick another example or just think about the original point.

Re: Torr and mmHg ??
Results of a little open internet search with some numbers:
- 133.322 returns 162000 hits. This is the most precise value valid for both conversions.
- 133.3224 returns 7600 hits. This is the most precise rounded value valid for both conversions and the most precise NIST states for mmHg.
- 133.322368 returns 2220 hits. This is valid for Torr only.
- 133.3223684 returns 1880 hits. This is valid for Torr only.
- 133.322387 returns 44 hits. This is valid for "conventional" mmHg only.
- 133.3223874 returns 29 hits. This is valid for "conventional" mmHg only.

Re: Torr and mmHg ??
And c is now fixed to an exact value by definition of the SI base units, so there is no longer any room for uncertainty.
