Missing Units of Measure (UOM)

If OCS is missing units of measure that you use and need for your data, please vote for this idea AND add a comment to this idea specifying what the missing UOMs are.

    We are happy to announce that new Units of Measure are now available in OCS: millimeter per square second (mm/s2) meter per square second (m/s2) Cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) deciSiemens per meter (dS/m) Siemens per meter (S/m) Microsiemens per Centimeter (µS/cm) microgram per cubic meter (µg/m3) Count per Liter (Count/L) milliWatt-hour (mWh) Watt-hours per mile (Wh/mi) inverse centimeter (cm-1) inverse meter (m-1) Lux (Lx) Watt per square meter (W/m2) nanometer (nm) micrometer (μm) hectoPascals (hPa) millibar (mbar) Newton meter (Nm) The following UOMs were requested by customers but were not added at this time: pH --> not a unit; please put this in the stream name / description Volumetric Water Content (VWC - %) --> please use % as the UOM and include VWC in the stream name / description USD --> currency not supported at this time due to it's value changing over time Euro --> currency not supported at this time due to it's value changing over time USD per mega watt hours --> currency not supported at this time due to it's value changing over time USD per hour --> currency not supported at this time due to it's value changing over time Didn't make it into our backlog in time for this release (will move to another idea): Mcf/d = thousand cubic foot per day (we have cf/d) --- volume flow rate Ft.lbf = foot pound --- energy 1/min = rate --- rate (we don’t have any “Rate” uoms like this) Gn = acceleration compared to gravity constant --- acceleration micron(micrometre- μm) -- 1×10−6 m

    Please add m3/d (cubic meters per day) and km3/d (thousand cubic meters per day) volume rates UoMs. These are used in Unified Supply Chain.

    As per instruction received from Mario Coelho this is a request from Apollo Energy Analytics, we are submitting the request to add new units of measurements relevant or used abundantly in SOLAR power\energy domain.

    VA - Volt-Ampère

    VAr - Volt-Ampère reactive

    VArh- Volt-Ampère Hour reactive

    W/Wp - Watt/Watt peak

    Wh/m^2 - Watt Hour/Meter square

    Wh/Wp - Watt Hour/Watt peak

    DEGREE CELSIUS^2 - DegC square

    These are only the initial UoMs that we found that are not in supported UoM list in OCS. There could be more depending on the device types and their attributes. Thanks.

    As an OCS user in the agricultural industry, I would like to add these Units of Measure so that we can better support the agricultural data we are gathering: Solar Irradiance in W/m^2 Atmospheric Pressing in hectoPascals Volumetric Water Content as a % ratio Electical Conductivity as deciSiemens/m Concentration as pH density as microgram per m^3

    lux (lx) counts/Liter (counts/L) Count/L Used for Air Quality: the sensor units that I am building have an air quality sensor that reads particle counts per Liter at various different particle sizes

    Mcf/d = thousand cubic foot per day (we have cf/d) --- volume flow rate Ft.lbf = foot pound --- energy 1/min = rate --- rate (we don’t have any “Rate” uoms like this) Gn = acceleration compared to gravity constant --- acceleration
