/** @page Units Measurement Units The toolkit can use data expressed in either US Customary of SI Metric units. A project's unit system depends on the unit system used for its choice of flow units. If the @ref EN_open function is used to supply data to a project from an Input File then its flow units are set in the @ref OptionsPage section of the file. If the @ref EN_init function is used to initialize a project then the choice of flow units is the fourth argument to the function. The following table lists the units used to express the various parameters in an EPANET model. | Parameter | US Customary | SI Metric | |----------------|-------------------------|---------------------------| |Concentration | mg/L or ug/L | mg/L or ug/L | |Demand | (see Flow units) | (see Flow units) | |Diameter (Pipes)| inches | millimeters | |Diameter (Tanks)| feet | meters | |Efficiency | percent | percent | |Elevation | feet | meters | |Emitter Coeff. | flow units @ 1 psi drop | flow units @ 1 meter drop | |Energy | kwatt - hours | kwatt - hours | |Flow | CFS (cubic feet / sec) | LPS (liters / sec) | | | GPM (gallons / min) | LPM (liters / min) | | | MGD (million gal / day) | MLD (megaliters / day) | | | IMGD (Imperial MGD) | CMH (cubic meters / hr) | | | AFD (acre-feet / day) | CMD (cubic meters / day) | |Friction Factor | unitless | unitless | |Head | feet | meters | |Length | feet | meters | |Minor Loss Coeff. | unitless | unitless | |Power | horsepower | kwatts | |Pressure | psi | meters | |Reaction Coeff.
