Pipe/Tank Insulation in metric #6912

Closed koay9f closed 1 week ago

koay9f commented 1 month ago

For both Pipe & Tank Insultation When calculators are in metric
Utility Cost is still in $/MMBTU on label. Results are in MMBtu.

1 - labels are wrong, Should be $/GJ and GJ to match TH 2 - I think unit conversion is in MJ for "Heated" and should be GJ to match TH (I think I found the unit conversion and it looks like it is doing MMBTU for imperial, heated, MJ for metric, heated, and kWh for both, chilled, but it is confusing).

3 - the results doesn't quite match what I'm getting in MJ. this could be few things, but need to review unit conversions. Just do a quick double check that things match what the suite is expecting/providing Data in imperial (correct results)

Data in metric (except $/MMBTU, that value is in $/MMBTU)

Correct value in metric: 1168 MMBTU is 1,232,310 MJ = 1,232.31 GJ. This is close (returning 1,278,232 "something probably MJ"), but not quite. It could be me converting from the user's metric to imperial + the dropdown for wall thickness not being perfect, but please check unit conversions to be sure.

@koay9f this is the type of issue that would be great to have Michael take a look at once he is familiar with the project. It's important to resolve - not necessarily complex but involves a lot of cross-checking and knowing where to look. If it can wait till he's at that point I'll assign it to him

Hard to compare examples between imperial/metric since they are different examples, but...

Obvious issues fixed:

If issues still remain, let's discuss over a call
