In the absence of any contextual information around the question, one interpretation is that the individual writing it was smoking something "unusual" at the time.....

Another possibility is a single character typo for either "min" or "max".

It is not possible to say which from here to an accuracy in excess of 331/3%.

This is an older unit to express pressure. Kilogram per square centimeter.

1 Kg/cm2 equals 14,5 psi, 1 Bar, and the new Unit 0,1 MPa (megapascal)

Since we are here on earth and count with 1 Bar as nominal pressure, a manometer will show 0 Kg/cm2 when measuring with open input.

1 Kg/m2 means there is 1 Kg/m2 more pressure than atmosphere. Man refers to "measured with manometer"

Hi all,

It's a rough translation from English!

"man" stands for "manometer", the same you usually would say kg/cm2 "gauge"

That's relative pressure.

Kind regards

Most likely it stands for Manometer, though it is subject to the indication of the manometer and it could stand for Kg/cm2 gauge and this not the absolute pressure, see bara and barg.

Best regards,

In Mexico and many latin american countries they will say kg/cm2 manometrico for gauge or kg/cm2 absoluto for absolute
