Procedure
1. Specify Base Volume Unit.
Base Volume Unit is the existing volume unit that the special unit will be based on.
2. Specify Base Time Unit.
Base Time Unit is the existing time unit that the special unit will be based on.
3. Calculate Volume Flow Conversion Factor as follows:
a) x base units = y special units
b) Volume Flow Conversion Factor = x ÷ y
4. Enter Volume Flow Conversion Factor.
