public class BaseUnitConcept extends UnitConcept
To convert a temperature measurement value in degrees F to degrees K, apply
the formula:
value in K = (value in F + unitOffset) * unitFactor
Inversely, to convert a measurement from the SI unit (K) to this unit (F),
apply this formula:
value in F = (value in K) / unitFactor - unitOffset
So far temperature is the only dimension that requires an offset. All the other dimensions only require a multiplication factor, so their offset is always zero. For example, To represent the position dimension units in kilometers (km):
The SI unit for position is meters (m) so the kilometers unitFactor is 1000.0 and there is zero offset.
This class is an infinite concept so that an arbitrary number of different unit measurements can be represented for any physical dimension. All that is required is specify the name of units and the multiplication factor and offset needed to convert the unit to the SI unit for that dimension.
