THE ‘SI’ QUANTITIES AND UNITS – A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE BRIDGING OVER THE 24 IMEKO TECHNICAL COMMITTEES

• Abstract:

  SI quantities and units are the subject to various IMEKO technical committees, not assigned to a certain TC (e.g. time). On the horizon of the adoption of a new SI, the connection between quantities and units remains the same, and their complexity is noticeable in the three graphical representations given (tree, planetary and subway map), reflecting the significance of the Chinese proverb that a suggestive picture values more than a thousand of words.
