Are US units correct?

Are US units correct?
According to the HP 50g's unit conversion utility, these are true:

1 chain = 4 rods = 66 ftUS
1 fath (fathom) = 6 ftUS

But Prime gives these conversions:

1 chain = 4 rods = 65.9999999982 ftUS
1 fath = 5.99999999984 ftUS

Perhaps it's all based on this difference:
1 meter = 3.28083333333 ftUS (HP 50g)
1 meter = 3.28083333324 ftUS (HP Prime)

Which is correct?

EDIT: Something is clearly amiss in the Prime. It says:
1 miUS = 5279.99999983 ftUS
But in actuality 1 miUS = exactly 5280 ftUS. It looks like Prime's definition of ftUS is screwed up.

RE: Are US units correct?
Nothing converts to "in" on my calc.
Feels like the entire Units part has to be checked and debugged.

It's because you're in CAS mode, see this thread for more details about this issue.

RE: Are US units correct?
Using "inch" in place of the available "in" just gives me another error...

RE: Are US units correct?
When I saw the title "Are US units correct?", first reaction was "of course not!" before I understood it was related to a possible issue on the Prime. I noticed that in Star Trek TNG they are all metric, seems like the future is already known ;-)

Quite right, I'm an idiot - Why on Earth would I want to convert to in in CAS mode?

This idiot expected the basic prefix and unitconversions to be available in all three modes (CAS/RPN/textbook) as the menus are accessible.

RE: Are US units correct?
Yep UNITS still needs some work.

It would be nice if you could use units with variables.

abc_cm for example. Seems to throw errors.

Since variables are used to store objects, you can store objects (with units) in variables:

abc:=1.00_cm;
abc --> 1.00_cm
abc*2.00 --> 2.00_cm

Thank you for that reminder which is useful if you know in advance that you want the variable to be stored as a _unit object.

What I was referring to was taking a variable with say a real value (2.0) then converting it into a _unit object. In this case, it seems you need to do the following:

Vars (enable Value soft-key) User abc --> 2.0
Units Length cm --> 2.0_cm

I forgot about the Value soft-key...

EVAL(abc) Units Length cm also works...

RE: Are US units correct?
Inside the CAS, all derived units are stored using the MKSA system. This of course can lead to some small rounding errors in conversions from US units to US units, it's unavoidable (and in is a reserved word inside the CAS, so that you can loop in a list, you must use inch for the unit. Since inch is not a metric unit, it has no real reason to have a reserved word).
The list of derived units follows, if you find something wrong, please correct
First number is a numeric factor, remainding numbers are powers of meter, kilogram, second, Ampere, Kelvin, mol, candela, last column is reserved for currency conversions.

This looks wrong to me. An inch is now defined as exactly 25.4mm which means one foot is exactly 0.3048m

That is the us survey foot which is 1200⁄3937m

There was a missing 0 in the definition so it read ..61 instead of ..601 at the end.

nice finding:
CAS, "usual" settings, trying
Code:
CONVERT(1_(km),1_(inch))

RE: Are US units correct?
Does it mean that _ft and _ftUS should be the same (then why not remove _ftUS)? It would make more sense to keep _ftUS!=_ft, but I don't really care... I just don't want to loose too much time on this!

Any comments to the strong output?

My fault,
or a new error in the Prime?

Thanks.

Edit: the last line in the screenshot hat been my original input,
I get this, if I select the crazy line above and press the soft key COPY .

- Why the Prime converts "inch" to these chinese characters?
- How should the input to obtain a correct conversion to inch within CAS mode?

The Prime does habe the last firmware, language is set to english.

RE: Are US units correct?
The physical calc doesn't show the "chinese" tail.

Only this:

CONVERT(1_km,1_)
"Error: Inconsistent units"

My guess is that it strips the inch part from the input before trying to convert and gets really confused as the "in" is a reserved word in CAS based on a previous post here.

I sure would like a working conversion/units/prefix part and if we have to skip the "in" and use "inch" everywhere thats fine with me.

On the physical calculator, in CAS mode, typing
Code:
CONVERT(1_(km),1_(inch))
gives "Error: Inconsistent units".

But typing
Code:
convert(1_(km),1_(inch))
works, except that "_inch" is displayed as "_" at the end of the numerical answer. Also, lowercase "convert" is displayed as uppercase CONVERT.

However, copying this command back into the entry line gives
Code:
convert(1_(km),1_(inch))
which is correct.

Using the "Sto->" key like this:
Code:
1_(m)->_inch
also works, although once again "_inch" is displayed as "_" in the result.

However,
Code:
1_(m)->1_(inch)
gives an error, which seems inconsistent with the behaviour of "convert".

The only definite bug that I have found is the non-display of "inch". However, I feel that the system could be more forgiving of variant input than in fact it is.
