Long
Overdue Correction Identified
by S. Bruce King
Back in August 2002, our newsletter
had a technical discussion about vapor pressures and the
units of measure used to report the vapor pressure of a
substance. At the end of the article the author,
S. Bruce King, gave a list of conversion factors to
convert from set of units to another. Also
provided was a table that gave vapor pressures and their
values for different measurement units. View this
original article here.
A mistake was identified by, Ronald
B. Crosier of SBCCOM, who recognized that I had used the
conversion factor for centimeters of water rather than
for inches of water.
I have redone the table, which is
shown below. My thanks to Ronald and I apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.
