The U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976 (USSA1976) defines the gas constant R as:
:R =  = .
Note the use of kilomoles, with the resulting factor of  in the constant. The USSA1976 acknowledges that this value is not consistent with the cited values for the Avogadro constant and the Boltzmann constant. This disparity is not a significant departure from accuracy, and USSA1976 uses this value of R for all the calculations of the standard atmosphere. When using the ISO value of R, the calculated pressure increases by only 0.62 pascal at 11 kilometers (the equivalent of a difference of only 17.4 centimeters or 6.8 inches) and 0.292 Pa at 20 km (the equivalent of a difference of only 33.8 cm or 13.2 in).
Also note that this was well before the 2019 SI redefinition, through which the constant was given an exact value.
