What can you measure in units of Pascal Torr or Bar?

What unit of measure will you use in sprinkler container?

The unit of measure commonly used in sprinkler containers is gallons.


How is Standard system of units a coherent system of units?

Units are related to one another. For example, since the meter is the unit of length, the unit of volume is cubic meter. Compare this to the imperial units, where the commonly used unit of volume is the gallon, which is not directly related to the cubic inch or cubic foot. Even worse, different units of volume are used for dry measure and for liquid measure.


Why do you measure using standard units instead of measuring with any kind of units?

Standard units are more commonly used than non standard units. Also, many of the conversion factors, such as the Universal Gravitational Constant or the Speed of Light, are in standard units and, if your measurements were not in appropriate units, you would need to convert.


Why are the SI units of measure for length mass volume density time and temperature?

Length: meter (or metre) Mass: kilogram Volume: the appropriate derived units would be cubic meters but liters are also commonly used Density: there is no standard, but you could use the derived units of kg per cubic meter but the cgs (centimeter, grams, seconds system of units) units of g/cc are also commonly used Time: second Temperature: Kelvin
