ENgetflowunits

R Documentation

Retrieve a code number indicating the units used to express all flow rates.

Description

ENgetflowunits retrieves a code number indicating the units used to express all flow rates.

Usage

ENgetflowunits()

Value

An integer, the code numnber indicating the flow units.

Note

Flow units codes are as follows:

0	= `EN_CFS`	cubic feet per second
1	= `EN_GPM`	gallons per minute
2	= `EN_MGD`	million gallons per day
3	= `EN_IMGD`	Imperial mgd
4	= `EN_AFD`	acre-feet per day
5	= `EN_LPS`	liters per second
6	= `EN_LPM`	liters per minute
7	= `EN_MLD`	million liters per day
8	= `EN_CMH`	cubic meters per hour
9	= `EN_CMD`	cubic meters per day

Flow units are specified in the [OPTIONS] section of the EPANET Input file.

Flow units in liters or cubic meters implies that metric units are used for all other quantities in addition to flow. Otherwise US units are employed. (See Units of Measurement).

Examples

# path to Net1.inp example file included with this package
inp <- file.path( find.package("epanet2toolkit"), "extdata","Net1.inp")  
ENopen( inp, "Net1.rpt")
ENgetflowunits()
ENclose()
