Understand units of measure (UOM)

PI AF ships preloaded with numerous standard unit-of-measure classes and conversion factors. You can extend these classes by adding new units of measure, as well as new measurement classes. The implementation of the units of measure (UOM) feature in PI AF is based on the International System of Units (SI).

You can use PI Builder to create, retrieve, edit, and delete PI AF units of measure with Microsoft Excel.

Note: You must have proper permissions in the UOM database to create, edit, or delete units of measure.
