No gauge pressure units in pressure kind

[wuxipaopao]

Gauge pressure units are commonly used in engineering calculation, like "bar-g", "MPa-g".
Is it possible to add support for these gauge pressure units?

[carlo-quinonez]

Doesn't gauge pressure depends on the local atmospheric pressure? How would you handle conversion to an absolute measurement?

[wuxipaopao]

Normally we use standard atmospheric pressure which is 101.325 kPa. If we want to be more precise, we can define a variable as local atmospheric pressure.

Assuming standard atmospheric pressure as the default but letting folks override that makes sense and seems reasonable. But I'm not a repo maintainer, so I'm not the person to convince.

If I were you, I'd go ahead and implement your solution and submit a PR. Worst case is the PR isn't merged, but you could still use your fork.
