Units of Measurement – Fundamental, Derived, Non SI Units | New Topic 2025
In this note, we are going to know about some important Units of Measurement like Fundamental Units, Derived Units, and Common Non SI Units as well. Welcome to Poly Notes Hub, a leading destination for engineering notes for diploma and degree engineering students.
Units of measurement are defined as some quantities used to express and compare physical qualities like length, mass, time, temperature, and so on. It serves as a measuring standard and maintains consistency in scientific, technical, and everyday applications.
Fundamental Units (Base Units)
These are the basic units defined by the International System of Units (SI).
