Constructor Detail

FlowMassUnit

public FlowMassUnit(MassUnit massUnit,
                    TimeUnit timeUnit,
                    String name,
                    String abbreviation,
                    UnitSystem unitSystem)

Create a user-defined flow-massunit based on mass and time.

Parameters:

massUnit - the unit of mass for the flow unit, e.g., kilogram

timeUnit - the unit of time for the flow unit, e.g., second

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

unitSystem - the unit system, e.g. SI or Imperial

FlowMassUnit

public FlowMassUnit(String name,
                    String abbreviation,
                    UnitSystem unitSystem,
                    FlowMassUnit referenceUnit,
                    double conversionFactorToReferenceUnit)

Build a user-defined unit with a conversion factor to another unit.

Parameters:

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

unitSystem - the unit system, e.g. SI or Imperial

referenceUnit - the unit to convert to

conversionFactorToReferenceUnit - multiply a value in this unit by the factor to convert to the given reference unit
