Upper And Lower Limits

2010 Mazda 5 Sport, 2.3 L, StandardSECTION Upper And Lower Limits
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is an upper limit and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm2 in the following specifications:
    1. 210-260 kPa {2.1-2.7 kgf/cmΒ 2Β  , 30-38 psi}Β 
    2. 270-310 kPa {2.7-3.2 kgf/cmΒ 2Β  , 39-45 psi}Β 
  • The actual converted values for 2.7 kgf/cm2 are 265 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is used as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.
