6.16.18: Issues with Convert Function

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

    • Proposal:
      Hide

      Regarding the CONVERT function:

      1. Leave "pc" as-is. It simply overrides pico-calorie, and is not ambiguous.
      2. "HPh" is from OpenOffice.org's CONVERT_ADD function. Propose leave as-is.
      3. NIST (http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html) does have these capitalized, so let's switch to capitals, changing "ki" to "Ki".

      Also: Under "Area", it should be "ly2" or "ly^2", not "ly".

      Description

      6.16.18

      "pc" ambiguity
      "c" is the prefix for energy unit calorie and can accept the pico prefix "p" hence "pc" is pico-calorie. The spec also defines "pc" as an abreviation for parsec. Proposal: Remove "pc" as symbol for parsec.

      HPh Source?
      Is Horsepower-hour (HPh preferred)a standard unit? What is the source?

      kibit binary Prefix
      All of the Binary Unit Prefixes are inital caps, should "ki" be "Ki"?
