Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] What does "KP" mean???

Since the label says 12000KP @ 10 bar it is really safe to assume that the
KP is NOT referring to kilopascals. Since by definition 12000 kilopascals
is 120 bar. It is most likely some unit of force which is developed at 10
bar of hydraulic pressure. However, I do not know what that force unit
would be, sorry.
