Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3492) Undefined units forConvert Function - NEEDS-DISCUSSION
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22817#action_22817 ]
Andreas Guelzow commented on OFFICE-3492:
------------------------------------------
Apparently:
"In 1963 Weights and Measures Act defined the imperial gallon as exactly 4.545 964 591 liters."
"the 1976 Weights and Measures Act the imperial gallon was exactly 277.411 779 864 898 cubic inches."
"The Weights and Measures Act of 1985 switched to a gallon of exactly 4.54609 l."
So we probably should confirm that the UK Weights and Measures Act of 1985 really says 4.54609 l and then use that value.

> 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

> "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
