Convert Mass

Description

This operation converts values between different units of mass.


Data types

These are the input/output expected data types for this operation:

Input data

- Values whose unit of mass you want to transform. They must be strings representing numbers.

Output data

- Resulting values after transforming them to the selected unit of mass.


Parameters

These are the parameters you need to configure to use this operation (mandatory parameters are marked with a *):

Example

Suppose you want to convert a series of events from kilograms into pounds:

  1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.

  2. In the Operation field, choose Convert mass.

  3. Set Input units to Kilogram (kg).

  4. Set Output units to Pound (lb).

  5. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The unit of mass of the values in your input field will be transformed. For example:

100 Kilogram (kg) -> 220.4622622 Pound (lb)

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
