Missing Units of Measure (UOM)
If OCS is missing units of measure that you use and need for your data, please vote for this idea AND add a comment to this idea specifying what the missing UOMs are.

We are happy to announce that new Units of Measure are now available in OCS:
millimeter per square second (mm/s2)
meter per square second (m/s2)
Cubic feet per minute (ft3/min)
deciSiemens per meter (dS/m)
Siemens per meter (S/m)
Microsiemens per Centimeter (µS/cm)
microgram per cubic meter (µg/m3)
Count per Liter (Count/L)
milliWatt-hour (mWh)
Watt-hours per mile (Wh/mi)
inverse centimeter (cm-1)
inverse meter (m-1)
Lux (Lx)
Watt per square meter (W/m2)
nanometer (nm)
micrometer (μm)
hectoPascals (hPa)
millibar (mbar)
Newton meter (Nm)
The following UOMs were requested by customers but were not added at this time:
pH —> not a unit; please put this in the stream name / description
Volumetric Water Content (VWC – %) —> please use % as the UOM and include VWC in the stream name / description
USD —> currency not supported at this time due to it’s value changing over time
Euro —> currency not supported at this time due to it’s value changing over time
USD per mega watt hours —> currency not supported at this time due to it’s value changing over time
USD per hour —> currency not supported at this time due to it’s value changing over time
Didn’t make it into our backlog in time for this release (will move to another idea):
Mcf/d = thousand cubic foot per day (we have cf/d) - volume flow rate
Ft.lbf = foot pound - energy
1/min = rate - rate (we don’t have any “Rate” uoms like this)
Gn = acceleration compared to gravity constant - acceleration
micron(micrometre- μm) — 1×10−6 m

counts/Liter (counts/L)Count/L Used for Air Quality: the sensor units that I am building have an air quality sensor that reads particle counts per Liter at various different particle sizes

These are only the initial UoMs that we found that are not in supported UoM list in OCS. There could be more depending on the device types and their attributes. Thanks.

As an OCS user in the agricultural industry, I would like to add these Units of Measure so that we can better support the agricultural data we are gathering:
Solar Irradiance in W/m^2
Atmospheric Pressing in hectoPascals
Volumetric Water Content as a % ratio
Electical Conductivity as deciSiemens/m
Concentration as pH
density as microgram per m^3
