Constructor Detail

VolumeUnit

public VolumeUnit(LengthUnit lengthUnit,
                  String name,
                  String abbreviation,
                  UnitSystem unitSystem)

Define a user-defined volume unit based on length, e.g. a m^3 is based on meters.

Parameters:

lengthUnit - the unit of length for the speed unit, e.g., meter

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

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

VolumeUnit

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

Build a user-defined VolumeUnit with a conversion factor to another VolumeUnit, e.g. quart is 0.25 gallon.

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

Method Detail

getLengthUnit

public final LengthUnit getLengthUnit()

Returns:

lengthUnit

getStandardUnit

public final VolumeUnit getStandardUnit()

Specified by:

getStandardUnit in class Unit<VolumeUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard unit for this unit, or the de facto standard unit if SI is not available

getSICoefficientsString

public final String getSICoefficientsString()

Specified by:

getSICoefficientsString in class Unit<VolumeUnit>

Returns:

the SI standard coefficients for this unit, e.g., kgm/s2 or m-2s2A or m^-2.s^2.A or m^-2s^2A (not necessarily normalized)
