pub struct Density { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The Density struct can be used to deal with Densities in a common way, to enable mass, volume and density calculations and unit conversions.

Example1 - calculating volume from units of mass and density

extern crate measurements;
use measurements::{Density, Mass, Volume};

fn main() {
   // Q: A 12 stone man hops into a brimming full bath, completely emersing himself.
   // How many gallons of water spill on the floor?
   // (Assume The human body is roughly about as dense as water - 1 gm/cm³)
   //
   let body_density: Density = Mass::from_grams(1.0) / Volume:: from_cubic_centimetres(1.0);
   let mans_weight = Mass::from_stones(12.0);
   let water_volume = mans_weight / body_density;
   println!("{} gallons of water spilled on the floor", water_volume.as_gallons());
}

Example2 - converting to ad-hoc units of density

extern crate measurements;
use measurements::{Density, Mass, Volume};

fn main() {
   // Q: what is 3 grams per litre in units of ounces per quart?
   //
   let density: Density = Mass::from_grams(3.0) / Volume:: from_litres(1.0);
   let ounces = (density * Volume::from_quarts(1.0)).as_ounces();
   println!("Answer is {} ounces per quart", ounces);
}
