Physical Quantities Format Dialog

This dialog appears when you select Physical Units Format from:

a)  The process’s context command menu (Preferences } Default Styles } Physical Units Format)
If this dialog appears in response to the command from the process flowsheet’s context menu, then it sets the default format choices to be used when common physical quantities (like time, mass flowrates, volumetric flowrates, densities, etc.) are presented in the context of a table anywhere in that process.

b)  The command menu of a table like Equipment Contents, Stream Summary Table, or Procedure Activity Overview.
If this dialog is presented in response to a command from the command menu of a specific table (e.g. the stream summary table), then it dictates which overwrites to be used when displaying those quantities in the context of that table alone (and it doesn’t affect the appearance of the same quantities in other tables).

The common quantities whose visual format can be set from this dialog are:

●      Duration (time)

●      Time Line

●      Total Mass

●      Liquid / Solid Mass

●      Liquid / Solid Density

●      Liquid / Solid Volume

●      Liquid / Solid Heat Capacity (C_p)

●      Vapor Mass

●      Vapor Density

●      Vapor Volume

●      Temperature

●      Pressure

For details on which aspects of their visual appearance in cells can be specified for each of the above quantities, see Cell Format Dialog.
