There are many Units of Measurement, under different categories of Science, including Weight, Mass, Time, Density, Heat, Pressure, etc. There are also many variations of said measurement under each type of measurement unit. Today, measurements most commonly used are Metric Measurements, such as centimetres, grams and so on, but Imperial Measurements are also common, such as inches, tonnes, feet, and so forth. Below is an inaccurate and incomplete list of a few examples of some measurements for certain categories. Next to them, in brackets, are the shortenings of each unit.
Length can be measured in centimetres and inches. (cm and in)
Mass can be measured in grams and tonnes. (g and t)
Weight can be measured in Newtons. (N)
Density can be measured in Grams per cubic centimetre. (g/cm3)
Heat can be measured in Degrees Celsius, Degrees Fahrenheit or Kelvin. (°C, °F and K)
Time can be measured in seconds. (s)
The Gregorian Calendar can be measured in Days, Weeks, Months and Years (d, [N/A] m, y)
The length units are:
nanometres
micrometres
millimetres
centimetres
decimetres
metres
deca metres
hecta metres
killometres

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) started in 1926 and the Laws of Table Tennis included all measurements in imperial units only (feet and inches). In 1937, the metric (metres, centimetres & millimetres) equivalent were added alongside the imperial measurements. In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary. In 1975 the imperial measurements were omitted from the Laws completely and all measurements were stated in metric units only. So table tennis tables are defined in the Laws of Table Tennis using metric measurements only. An official table tennis table is 2.74m long, 1.525m wide and 76cm high, and the net is 1.83m long and 15.25cm high
All ratio measurements must be in the same units before simplifying

Some units of measure are easier to calculate with than others. For example, all metric units can be easily multiplied or divided by units of ten to reach another unit of measurement.
