H2Ometrics uses several standard units for measuring flow, depth, velocity, pressure, temperature and volume. I thought I would share the conversions between the units in this post. The conversion table at the bottom of this post is a good reference on converting common units in general, so feel free to download and use it.

Also, we are adding new sensors types and application to H2Ometrics all the time, so if you have an application with a measurement or units not shown, just contact us and we can incorporate a new units type for your application. Here is a list of the standard units and their abbreviations:

Flow

  • cfs – cubic feet per second
  • MGD – millions of gallons per day
  • gpm – gallons per minute
  • cms – cubic meters per second
  • lps – liters per second

Depth

  • ft – feet
  • in – inches
  • m – meters
  • cm – centimeters

Velocity

  • ft/s – feet per second
  • m/s – meters per second

Pressure

  • psi – pounds per square feet
  • head (ft) – pressure head in feet of water
  • Pa – Pascals

Temperature

  • F – Fahrenheit
  • C – Celsius

Volume

  • kcf – thousands of cubic feet
  • cf – cubic feet
  • gal – gallons
  • MG – millions of gallons
  • CM – cubic meters
  • l – liters
