I used to wonder too, and often if I wanted a hotter load I'd go back to one of my old manuals. I've been looking for data on a Blue Dot load that is not published and in that quest have been told the older manuals used the crushed copper (cup) units of measurement. Newer data has come out since the use of Peizo conductors to get direct pressure measurements and the use of strain gauges has yielded more complete actual pressures throughout the burn. (Disclaimer; since I'm not a scientist and probably not even as smart as I think I am, some of that may be slightly out of context or even wrong in that I misunderstood some of what was being explained to me. However, it makes sense to me and I'm not going to the older manuals to find a hotter load anymore.)
