composite unit of measure
Instances of this
Class
are UnitsOfMeasure defined by the functional composition of other units, each of which might be a
CompositeUnitOfMeasure
or a
NonCompositeUnitOfMeasure
.
Relationships
Parents
function quantity
A
FunctionQuantity
is a
PhysicalQuantity
that is returned by a
Function
that maps from one or more instances of
ConstantQuantity
to another instance of
ConstantQuantity
. For example, the velocity of a particle would be represented by a
FunctionQuantity
relating values of time (which are instances of
ConstantQuantity
) to values of distance (also instances of
ConstantQuantity
). Note that all elements of the range of the
Function
corresponding to a
FunctionQuantity
have the same physical dimension as the
FunctionQuantity
itself.
unit of measure
A standard of measurement for some dimension. For example, the
Meter
is a
UnitOfMeasure
for the dimension of length, as is the
Inch
. There is no intrinsic property of a
UnitOfMeasure
that makes it primitive or fundamental, rather, a system of units (e.g.
SystemeInternationalUnit
) defines a set of orthogonal dimensions and assigns units for each.
Children
unit of area
Every instance of this
Class
is a
UnitOfMeasure
that can be used with
MeasureFn
to form instances of
AreaMeasure
.
unit of atmospheric pressure
UnitOfAtmosphericPressure
includes those instances of
UnitOfMeasure
used to measure atmospheric pressure (
barometricPressure
), e.g.,
InchMercury
.
unit of frequency
Every instance of this
Class
is a
UnitOfMeasure
that can be used with
MeasureFn
to form instances of
FrequencyMeasure
.
unit of volume
Every instance of this
Class
is a
UnitOfMeasure
that can be used with
MeasureFn
to form instances of
VolumeMeasure
.
