The only thing I can figure is that sqrt() is buggering things up. When I do this I get no compiler error:
quantity<cs::units::si::flow_rate> __fr = __C_flow * __a_orifice * boost::units::sqrt(__two * __p_diff / __d);
However, when I do this, I do get a compiler error:
quantity<cs::units::si::flow_rate, float> __fr = __C_flow * __a_orifice

I haven't dug into sqrt() yet to verify its result, but it seems like this is taking some underlying type liberties? Could we do this, boost::units::sqrt<float>(...)?
Ah. I see what's going on: The result of sqrt is the same as root<2>(x). The result of root<2>(x) is based on typeof(pow(x.value(), 0.5)). The constant is always a double, thus float gets promoted to double. I'll see what I can do to fix this.
If it can be fixed from a library perspective, great. It's easy enough to workaround, however, taking static_cast<float>(x.value()) of the intermediate result, and so that we don't get too far removed from the dimensional analysis.
I am receiving the following compiler error as my clue...
Error 1 error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'boost::units::quantity<Unit,Y>' to 'boost::units::quantity<Unit,Y>' c:\Source\Simulations\CS.Calculations.Managed\Calculators\Calculator.cpp 461 CS.Calculations.Managed
