How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (psi) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 38 | +0.29019 |
| 1 decimal | 37.7 | −0.00981 |
| 2 decimals | 37.71 | +0.00019 |
Round trip: take 37.71 psi back the other way and you land on 260.0013 kPa — a drift of 0.0013 kPa. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
