If you wanted to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank (like nitrous oxide or carbon monoxide), what would the units be?

Usually psi (pounds per square inch).

The units could be either PSI ( Pound per squared inch) or Bar, which is another type of unit used for measuring pressure; each Bar is almost equal to one Atmospheric pressure. Then you have Newtons/meter squared and finally you have Pascal.

Units would be danger, and could be measured in years before eligible for parole, or risk factor for property insurance. There is no good reason to keep carbon monoxide in a tank.

Pascal (Pa)
Bar (bar)
Technical atmosphere (at)
Atmosphere (atm)
Torr (mmHg)
Pound per square inch (psi)

In the U.S. it would normally be measured in PSI or pounds per square inch! ;-)=

Pounds per Square Inch - called P.S.I. - or PSI
