Introduction
Introduction
The Unit of Measure (“uom”) Python Module is a collection of Python classes and utility functions
for converting a value from one unit of measure to another.
The classes can be divided into:
 Conversion functions
o These functions convert a value from one unit of measure to another.
 Enumeration classes
o These classes (such as the Mass class or the Temperature class) enumerate
properties (such as Kilograms or Celsius) representing units of measure for a
particular physical quantity.
o The properties enumerated in those classes are used by the conversion functions in
the uom module.
Document Coverage
This document covers the following:
 It explains how to use the conversion functions.

 For each category of conversion:
 It lists all the available functions for the category.
 It lists the enumeration class properties that are used in the category.
 It gives an example in each category to illustrate usage.

Available Objects
The Unit of Measure (“uom”) Python Module has been originally designed for use in either Proficy
Historian or the Proficy Historian Analysis (PHA) suite. The module does not have to be used in
these contexts. However, if you are using it in one of these contexts, then this section will be
helpful to you.
In a Historian or PHA context, you have access to TagSample objects:
 An object of this type represents a single sample.

 The single sample is represented by a number of properties, including these properties:
o is_quality_good
 This boolean indicates whether or not the quality of the sample is good.
o is_quality_bad
 This boolean indicates whether or not the quality of the sample is bad.
o timestamp
 This property represents the UTC timestamp of the sample.

o value
 This property represents the value of the sample.
You can use the conversion functions in the uom Python Module to convert the value of the value
property of a TagSample object, provided that the value property is a float or easily evaluates to
one.
For example, if your values represent temperatures in degrees Celsius and you want to convert the
representation to degrees Fahrenheit, then you can use a function from the uom module to do it in
the following way:
uom.to_Fahrenheit(ExhaustTemperature.value, uom.Temperature.Celsius)
for a declared TagSample instance “ExhaustTemperature”. See the to_Fahrenheit function and the
applicable properties of the Temperature class in the Temperature Conversion section of this
document for further details.
Consult the Historian or PHA documentation for details on the use of TagSample objects.

Conversion Functions
Generic Function Structure
Signature and Parameters
The function signatures in the uom module are all of the form:
uom.to_<toUnit>(value, fromUnit)
where:
 <toUnit> is the unit to which the value is being converted

 value is any numerical value
 fromUnit is of type int and must be one of the properties in the enumeration class that
matches the physical quantity being converted
Return Value
Each such function returns a float representation of the value passed in, converted to the requested
new unit of measure.
Example
uom.to_Amps(100,ElectricCurrent.Milliamps)
where
 <toUnit> is “Amps”
 value is 100
 fromUnit is ElectricCurrent.Milliamps (where the ElectricCurrent class enumerates )
This returns a float value of 0.1.
