Description

The Density Conversion block computes the conversion factor from specified input density units to specified output density units and applies the conversion factor to the input signal.

The Density Conversion block port labels change based on the input and output units selected from the Initial unit and the Final unit lists.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Density

scalar | array

Contains the density, specified as a scalar or array, in initial density units.

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Data Types: double

Output

Port_1 — Density

scalar | array

Contains the density, returned as a scalar or array, in initial density units.

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Data Types: double

Parameters

Initial unit — Input units

lbm/ft^3 (default) | kg/m^3 | slug/ft^3 | lbm/in^3

Input units, specified as:

lbm/ft^3	Pound mass per cubic foot
kg/m^3	Kilograms per cubic meter
slug/ft^3	Slugs per cubic foot
lbm/in^3	Pound mass per cubic inch

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Final unit — Output units

kg/m^3 (default) | lbm/ft^3 | slug/ft^3 | lbm/in^3

Output units, specified as:

lbm/ft^3	Pound mass per cubic foot
kg/m^3	Kilograms per cubic meter
slug/ft^3	Slugs per cubic foot
lbm/in^3	Pound mass per cubic inch

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Programmatic Use
