Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3492) Undefined units forConvert Function
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22587#action_22587 ] David Wheeler commented on OFFICE-3492: ---------------------------------------- A light-year is exactly: (299 792 458 m/s) (3600 s/hr) (24 hr/day) (365.25 day/year) 1 bushel = 2150.42 cubic inches exactly. SOURCE: "Appendix C of NIST Handbook 44, Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices" http://ts.nist.gov/WeightsAndMeasures/Publications/appxc.cfm [Bushel is often used for weight, too, but we're only using them for volume.] The NIST document has some other traditional measurement notes. Hope that helps. OTHER NOTES: CIA notes that 1 U.S. bushel = 32 dry quarts. (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/appendix/appendix-g.html). The term "pc" (parsec) overrides "pico-calorie". That's not a problem in any way, it's just a ramification of the rules and I thought I'd point that out. > Undefined units for Convert Function > ------------------------------------ > > Key: OFFICE-3492 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3492 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Needs Discussion, OpenFormula > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05 > Reporter: Eric Patterson > Assignee: Eike Rathke > Priority: Critical > Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 > > > There are still a number of units that are undefined and cannot be implemented as described. These should all be defined with numbers. > "ly" * Light-year, the distance light travels, in a vacuum, in a Julian year of 365.25 days > "parsec" or "pc" * Distance from sun to a point having heliocentric parallax of one second (used for stellar distance)* > "PS" Pferdestärke (German "horse strength", close but not identical to "HP") > "bushel" U.S. bushel (not Imperial bushel), interpreted as volume > "uk_gal" U.K. / Imperial gallon > "uk_qt" U.K. / Imperial quart > Also, for "pond", there is a need to specify what to use for acceleration due to gravity > "pond" * Pond, gravitational force on a mass of one gram -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
