Units on Graphs

Units on Graphs

Units on Graphs

(OP)
I am trying ot create flow graphs based on a calculated Cv value, with pressure loss shown in PSI.

Function works and gives me default units of lb*ft^-1*sec^-2, at which I insert psi and all is well

However, when I try to graph it, I get the default units, if I type psi in the y column I get changed, but wrong results. Does anybody have experience in creating graphs where you change the output to a "non-standard" unit??

RE: Units on Graphs

Divide the data set by psi and plot.

RE: Units on Graphs

Alternately, you can divide your abscissa on your graph by the units you want in the plot.  This avoids losing the units for other equations.

Thanks for the help...counterintuitive it seems.. but efective!
