List of Units of Measurement

introduction any unit of measurement can be configured in the field of the engineering specifications of measurements docid\ ewhzbz5pxxr1upqq xkj5 and calculations docid\ lh1debpbag ki7a0u 3fv however, we recommend using the units listed on this page for the best experience, as they offer two key advantages they are automatically configured in grafana via the datasource plugin docid 9enc3pgv14ed p2oatbtj , and support auto scaling within grafana dashboards they are mapped to seeq units when using the seeq connector docid\ qkbn3ykogkidjczu6kygg this list of quantities below is based on the grafana source code for uom formatting https //raw\ githubusercontent com/grafana/grafana/refs/heads/main/packages/grafana data/src/valueformats/categories ts on github how to use search for the relevant unit in the tables below or using the table of contents of this page then, enter the value in the id column as the uom in factry historian's measurement or calculation configuration for example, for a measurement in kwh, enter kwatth in the uom field misc name unit id number none string string short short si short sishort percent (0 100) percent percent (0 0 1 0) percentunit
