Re: kp/cm2 = bar?

[SailingFC@aol.com]

It's an oil pressure guage.  I use one that goes to 5 on my '78.  The units 
are kg/cm2 not kp/cm2.  Anyway, a kg/cm2 is equal to 14.22 psi(1 kg/cm2 = .98 
bar) .  So 10 kg/cm2 is about 142 psi.  When I start up, mine registers about 
4.5(which is 9, because I use a 0-10 sender).  This is about 128 psi.
Hope this helps.
