I am curious as to why one would want to commit to a mix of units like Kg weight, then PSI for pressure. 

“KC” as a unit of frequency has been off the table for about 35 years or so...

That makes as much sense as Congress's selection for auto emission standards as being stated in grams per mile! Only a politician could come up with anything as nonsensical as that!!!

BTW - Torque, in the BSA standard, is in Foot-Pounds or Ounce-Inches, not “Pounds”.

From Dr. Nolan's call, I assume that he has contributed to amateur radio for awhile as well as healing critters. Let's help by answering his question and then commenting about kg weight, kc frequency, pounds of pressure, pounds of torque, etc.
