NUCOS Unit List

The NOAA Unit Converter for Oil Spills (NUCOS) is designed specifically to support
oils spill response and planning. As the Oil industry (and the response community)
use some unusual units, this is NOT a general purpose or full featured unit converter.
However, it does try to include all the units that one might need for oil spill work.

Complete unit type, units, and synonym list:

Note that in NUCOS, unit names and synonyms are case and white space insensitive, so, eg:

"Pounds per Cubic Foot" is the same as "poundspercubicfoot"
