Is the function of と in this sentence kind of like the "if" と where there is
an initial condition, that is followed by resulting condition?

この手紙から察すると彼は立腹してるようだ。

For example, "I gathered from the letter" RESULT -> "He seems angry"

particle-と
Function of と in the following sentence
___から察すると means "judging from ___".

Here __と can be analyzed to mean **"if __"** or **"when __"** (source: Makino
& Tsutsui, Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar p. 480); i.e., the sentence
could be literally translated as "If one judges from" or "When one judges
from".

A similar use of __と would be 無用なものを入れると、無用なものしか取り出せない。 _If you put useless
stuff in, you can only get useless stuff out_.
