StdP; value 101.325. trick question or what?
StdP; value 101.325E3. That is the true value!! 760mmHg

Actually, it has been this way even back to the 48 series. The constant lib there returns a value of 101.325 when you don't have units attached. When you are not using units, the assumption is just that in the end you interpret as kPa. I remember looking at this extensively and talking to a few physics/chemistry professors before deciding to match what was done before.

I'm open to change it, but the behavior does seem to make sense in actual practice.
