Description
Label a supplied urine-collection duration and convert hours to minutes.
Urinary records distinguish collected volume, collection duration, mean flow, anatomical side and the source of symptom codes. Millilitres, litres and cubic millimetres are volume units; dividing volume by a specified interval gives a mean rate. A diary transcription or volume balance needs verified collection and clinical context before it can inform care.
Label a supplied urine-collection duration and convert hours to minutes.
When to use this tool
Use Urine Collection Duration Label when you already have collectionId, durationHours and need to label a supplied urine-collection duration and convert hours to minutes.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter collectionId, durationHours. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label, durationMinutes. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty collectionId and durationHours>=0; format collection; duration=N h and return hours*60 minutes.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| collectionId | Collection Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| durationHours | Duration Hours | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| durationMinutes | Duration Minutes | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Duration may be fractional; the tool does not infer collection completeness or a recommended interval.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original collection log, measurement units and instrument protocol before interpreting a volume or flow. Use the full recorded trace for peak or time-varying flow; a mean or transcription is only one component of that record.
