Description: |
This function returns the conversion factor needed to convert from any unit of pressure to Pascal. The function takes the unit of pressure as input and returns a conversion factor as output. This function is called from the m_pck_pid_spec_utl .validateservicelimits function where it validates whether the entered pressure temperature limits for the spec are within its limits. |
Type: |
Function |
Usage: |
This function is used by the P&ID interface to retrieve the conversion factor to convert the pressure in Smart Reference Data to the standard unit of pressure, that is, Pascal. |
Event: |
This function is called when the validate service limits button of the P&ID interface is clicked. On click of this button, the software calls the validateservicelimits function, which in turn calls the PRESSURE_CONVERT_TO_PASCAL function. Because the validateservicelimits function receives the pressure in Pascal as input from the P&ID interface, but the pressure in Smart Reference Data may not be in Pascal, so to convert it to Pascal, it calls this function so that it can get the conversion factor. |
Default: |
Conversion factor (to Pascal) based on the pressure unit passed. |
