Units

This page describes the prefered method of expressing units.

• Separate value from units with one space.
• When using multiple measurements, such as ranges or dimensions, each number should be followed by a unit.
• Units should be preceded by figures (numbers) rather than spelled out text.
• Do not append 's' to units (i.e. units should not be plural).

Specify imperial units first, followed by metric units in parentesis.
