	Oh, another undefined 'we'! It depends upon the circumstances. Millimetres of water is a much more convenient scale for, say, air handling, where differential pressures are quite low. Millimetres of mercury is more convenient for, say, measuring high vacuum in pharmaceutical primary manufacture. So the short answer is that it depends upon what 'we' are doing, and 'we' haven't stated what it is. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Beg to differ there: image in #3 is the old "red cross" placemarker on my setup. #5 is OK, though. . __________________ "Love justice, you who rule the world" - Dante Alighieri
