Measurement Unit | Concepts | A Measurement Unit is the metric for a measurement in terms of an official unit of measurement. | Measurement Units can be based on different Measurement Types such as weight, height, currency, duration etc. Measurement Units can be transformed into one another (e.g. kilometres into metres) if they refer to the same Measurement Type (e.g. length). The conversion rule attribute can be used to include a multiplicative factor e.g. the non-standard Measurement Unit ‘1000 kg’ = 1000 x the standard Measurement Unit ‘kg’. |
