       UNITS

      Units are labels that are used to distinguish one type of measurable quantity from other types. Length, mass, and time are distinctly different physical quantities, and therefore have different unit names, such as meters, kilograms and seconds. We use several systems of units, including the metric (SI), the English (or U.S. customary units), and a number of others, which are of mainly historical interest.

      This part of the book contains the following:

      • International System of Units

      • Metric Units of Measurement

      • U.S. Units of Measurement

      • Units of Measure in Precious Metals

      • Tables of Equivalents

      The International System of Units, abbreviated as SI, is the modernized version of the metric system established by international agreement.
