Description

Python unit of measure (UOM) conversion tool

The conversion factors and unit symbols are based on the Energistics UOM 1.0 (https://www.energistics.org/energistics-unit-of-measure-standard/) extended with a extra unit aliases and "unitless" particular unit that cannot be converted.

The units are case sensitives.

Where to get it

The source code is hosted on GitHub at: https://github.com/Schlumberger/UOM

Binary installers for the latest released version are available at the Python Package Index (PyPI).

pip install uom

Usage

Please find examples of possible utilization:

Find conversion factors to be applied to convert from one unit to another

from uom import conversion_factors

scale, offset = conversion_factors(source='m', target='ft')

Convert a value from one unit to another

from uom import convert

print(convert(value=10, source='m', target='ft'))

Return the base SI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units) unit. If you are using unit alias you can find the compatible Energistics UOM symbol

from uom import base_unit, unit_alias

print(base_unit('kft.lbf'))
print(unit_alias('kft.lbf'))
