Seeq Knowledge Base

Supported Units

Supported Prefixes

Seeq supports the SI prefixes as shown in the following table. See the units table below for details on which units support which prefixes. Prefixes are applied to the unit directly to the right of the prefix.  For example, km/g is kilometers/gram and not kilo(meters/gram) although both are equivalent.

M and MM

The prefixes M = 1e3 and MM = 1e6 are not supported.  M is always interpreted as SI mega (1e6).  We do attempt to map units with a prefix of MM to mega (1e6).  If you intend M to be 1e3, you can use a Connector Property Transform to map, for example, MBTU to kBTU. You can then use Display Units to show the original MBTU.

Prefix Limitations

Parentheses

Prefixes cannot be applied to parentheses.  For example k(m^3) is not supported. Some units of this form can be transformed to a unit Seeq will recognize.

Examples

Unrecognized

Recognized

k(m)^3

km^3 or (km)^3

k(m^3)

not supported

k(m/g) which is the same as (km)/g

km/g or (km)/g

Prefix Combinations

Prefixes cannot be combined.  For example, k(mg) or kmg are not supported.

Table of Supported Units

  • Label is the name Seeq displays. 

  • Aliases are also recognized but will still be displayed using the label.

  • Alternates can be used interchangeably. The one you picked will be used in downstream calculations (e.g. mbar and hPa).

The Category is a loose category solely used to organize the units in any UI unit lists. Category is not the same as Dimension. For example, the Electric category contains several units used when dealing with Electricity but all the units within that category are not the same Dimension.

The default character set is UTF-8.
