Conversion of units
SI units
The equations stated above are based on the SI-unit-system. If parameters are known
in other units, they must be converted into a SI-unit before entering the equations.
The result will be in a SI-unit.
After the calculation the result may be converted to the desired unit. Conversion of
units may be performed, using the equations stated below:
