American machinists converted to the "centifeet" system a long time ago. Dimensions are in "thou" and "mil" (of an inch).

Meters, liters, and even Celsius are fine. But Pascals are the hyperinflation of pressure units. 5 psi? That'll be eleventy million pascals. Maybe if I had a bike pump that had 50kPa increments alongside Psi, I could gradually figure it out.
