I'm going to get it for this but............................
When you are trying to read and learn from a post and you come across letters in a group that don't spell a word, then assume the writer can't spell very good (that's me) or is RUDE.

FYI
 

I agree some do, but the older pre metric system was inches.

Many technical service manuals note Vacuum ranges and readings as 0 - 30 (Hg).

This 0 - 30 (Hg) is short hand telling (Meteorology, automotive, HVAC, aerospace, etc) technical educated people "0 - 30 inches mercury of vacuum"..

Interesting related data.
Inches of water

.

The metric system has been in wide spread use since the middle 1800's. Units of length are measured in meters or subdivisions of meters. Many non scientific applications use the older English system of feet or inches.

Actually the point I was trying to clarify for you is that Hg is not an acronym for anything but rather a chemical symbol for one of the elements. You didn't seem to understand that.

FTLOG! WWTTD?

Hmm
 

The standard in the USA was ENGLISH until the mid 1970's.

The metric system was profoundly screwed up for most of it's history, which is why I have many special metric instruments and tool sets covering pre-war, post-war, Nations, and the 1970's global standardization debacle.

The point I was trying to clarify is that "Hg" is BOTH an industry standard acronym AND a chemical symbol for one of the elements.

Huh
 

What did you say??

I just made up my own acronym to see if the cool cats here could work out what it all meant!

(I'm sure that's how these things get born)

im sure army can relate to this and whunter can add to his list of muddle

The old morris/austin engines used british standard whitworth socket heads with metric thread sizes - talk about seriously screwed up.

Thanks again there whunter!

I appreciate your very detailed reply but all I am wanting is the remainder of the letters that follow each one of those letters so I can know what the acronym actually stands for! Any way you can share that info with an old friend like me :D?

Ha!

Could it be

French Taxi Lurches Over Grate! Whilst Wanton Teen Temptress Dances?

It isn't an acronym it is a Greek letter => lambda

It equals one
