Systems of Units. Some Important Conversion Factors

    Under this system, numbers are grouped into units containing two digits each. The medical staff used use a six-digit number which they divide it with a hyphen into three parts. The six-digit numbers are often read from right to left. Notably, the last two digits of a number are referred to as primary digits and comprise of first indexing unit. The middle two digits which represent second indexing unit are referred to as secondary digits. The first two digits represent the third indexing units are referred to as third indexing unit. This is illustrated below.…

    Although the world may disagree about many issues there is a commonality that continuously unites nations from all over the world, and it is a fundamental system in which the world cannot function without, the International System of Units (SI). The SI was established in 1960 by the 11th Conference of Weight and Measures; it began with 17 nations including the United States and today has become widely used among 51 nations (Historical). The SI is a metric system of units of measurement and is predominantly used in the scientific community to communicate and to be able to share research anywhere in the world. The SI system has common units such as; meters, kilograms, moles, seconds and Kelvins to measure length, mass, amount of substance, time and temperature (Historical). The SI system is very useful because it allows the world to communicate in a common language, without the system many tedious conversions would have to be made just to share knowledge throughout the world.…

    A lone giant, the United States still uses an arcane and arbitrarily defined system of measurements despite the fact the that the world has adopted a simple international system. That arbitrary system, regrettably still in use, is the US Customary/Imperial System where miles, gallons, pounds, and Fahrenheit all call home. This simple international system is The International System of Units, or what we colloquially refer to as the metric system. The US customary system is too complex with a multitude of names for units and difficult methods of conversion between those units. We are also stuck in this hybrid system of metric and customary units because of our past attempts at total metrication which can lead to confusion for our citizens.…
