GaBi Paper Clip Tutorial - GaBi Software

Procedure
38. Type in the column ‘1 [Quantity] = * kg’ the amount 0.00035 and press enter.
This specifies the weight of one paper clip. You will notice that GaBi automatically enters
the number of pieces.
39. Click on ‘Save’ and then close the window.
3.17 Entering flow amounts
We have now added all the flows that enter and leave the paper clip bending process.
However these flows lack information about how much of each of them are used and
produced.
Add this information by clicking in the Amount column and entering the amount required
for the process. By clicking on Unit you can change the flow unit. One very handy feature
of GaBi is that it can automatically convert between all the given units.
For example we estimated that we need 0.0001 kWh of electric power for the bending of a
paper clip.
40. Choose the Unit ‘kWh’ first and then type in the amount ‘0.0001.’
41. Change the unit back to ‘MJ’ you will see that the amount of 0.0001 kWh
automatically converts to the corresponding amount of MJ.
