How to make easy unit conversions
In September 1999, a multi-million dollar project called the Mars Climate Research Orbiter crash-landed on Mars, due to a simple conversion error in which a team failed to convert English measures thrust in Newtons, a system metrics for measuring rocket force.
The conversion between units, especially when involving complex calculations can now completely ruin a project, and the result ends up costing time, money and in some cases, even destroy the whole project.
During the investigation and design phase of most projects, developers, scientists and engineers usually rely on data stored in the database programs like Microsoft Excel. This data is then interpreted and used in developing the project later.
However, a problem with these database products is most often the data does not easily allow the units to be identified in the cells. The person who enters the data knows that, for example, the number 225 is equal to the distance in meters. However, most of the Sometimes the unit of measurement is not clearly defined or not defined at all. It is simply "known" by the person who entered the data.
In some cases, problems are avoided simply by the limited number of people to work with the data. But on larger projects with many people, teams or on projects with large data sets labeling units becomes an imperative.
Still, problems most often arise in the interpretation of raw data but in the conversion of data between drive types. For example, if you have a measurement of the fields, and we calculate it as if it were measured in meters, the result will major error.
This is a major flaw with many database programs - like do not recognize the drives, and can not convert between them automatically.
However, there are some standalone programs that allow users more freedom, automation and clarity when it comes to unit conversions. These programs act as complements for the database program, and complete the main program and add additional features and benefits.
A these was recently published by engineering Paradise and is simply called Excel Unit Conversion Addin. This product works perfectly with Microsoft Excel to provide clear and unit conversions automatically, as indicated by the user.
For example, after entering a number in a field, the adjacent field calls unit. After entering the type of unit, the user can change the requested unit and the original entry will be automatically converted.
In addition to the conversions, users can also perform calculations conversions are done automatically. For example, if you have a measure in gallons, and another measurement in hours, then you can execute the calculation of A1 / B1 (or whatever they are in the fields) and receive the result in gallons per hour. However, you can change the unit you want, and instantly calculate the change properly.
For example, instead of gallons per hour, you can get liters per second, milliliters per minute, or any other permutation of volume and time. All this is done only by changing the unit sought, instead of manually running each calculation of the conversion.
This Excel add-in shows the power of this tool on your website www.unitconversionaddin.com. The video also shows how easy it is to use. If you watch the video, you will notice that the addin can also show atomic units of the elements, and manages a wide range of different types of units.
The Excel Unit Conversion Addin is a very powerful tool that can even perform dimensional analysis, which is the process of understanding the properties of magnitudes independent physical units used to measure them. For example, each physical quantity is a combination of mass, length, time, electric charge and temperature and has these properties, even without the units of measure them. Dimensional analysis is used in physics, chemistry, engineering and many other sciences.
Speaking the developers of this supplement, is an object created with VSTO MS Office tools and development that is written in C #. The object-oriented code makes it much easy to arrange the conversion unit instead of writing VBA macros. This means that the program can run automatically without having to be activated whenever the user wants to perform a conversion. However, future updates will probably use some VBA macros to increase efficiency.
Complement also conforms to the standards of precision engineering, and can handle conversions or display the information of the SI units, American units, elements, and the periodic table.
Tools like this allow researchers the ability to convert much faster and easier than otherwise. This can greatly increase the efficiency and accuracy on projects that require large amounts of unit conversions.
