Nucos (NOAA Unit Conversion for Oil Spills)
Used for converting temperature, volume, and mass.
Basic Usage
Convert when the unit types are the same:
nucos.convert(unitType, fromUnit, toUnit, value)
Example:
nucos.convert("Density", "API degree", "kg/m^3", 10)
Convert between different quantities (volume and mass)
Instantiate the OilQuantityConverter off of nucos
var oilConverter = new nucos.OilQuantityConverter();
Use the Convert method off of the OilQuantityConverter class
oilConverter.Convert(fromAmount, fromUnit, Density, DensityUnits, toUnit);
Example with inputs:
oilConverter.Convert(50, "tons", 10, "API degree", "cubic meters");
Development
nucos is written in javascript, and packages as an NPM package.
