Appendix B: Abbreviations of Units of Measure
Common abbreviations for units of measure are listed in Table 14.2. This
table does not cover all units used in this text. Further measures of energy
and power are discussed in Section 1.4. For further information, see [68].
The fourth column indicates whether the unit is an SI base unit, an SI
derived unit, or not an SI unit. Table 14.3 lists prexes used with SI units
[193].
