Take for example a vehicle which had its cold inflation tire pressure set near Denver (altitude 5300 feet), and is descending towards Los Angeles (altitude 300 feet). The tires could become underinflated by as much as 2.5 psi. Cold inflation pressure should therefore be readjusted after any significant changes in altitude.
Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum pressure during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum pressure between two heartbeats) in the cardiac cycle. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) above the surrounding atmospheric pressure , or in kilopascals (kPa).
