    The angstrom (symbol Å) is a unit of distance used in chemistry and atomic physics equal to 100 pm. The micron (μ) is a unit of distance equal to one micrometre (1 μm). The basic module (M) is a unit of distance equal to one hundred millimetres (100 mm). The myriametre (mym) is a unit of distance equal to ten kilometres (10 km).

    The metre–tonne–second system of units (MTS) was based on the metre, tonne and second – the unit of force was the sthène and the unit of pressure was the pièze. It was invented in France for industrial use and from 1933 to 1955 was used both in France and in the Soviet Union .

    A combination of base and derived units may be used to express a derived unit. For example, the SI unit of force is the newton (N), the SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa) – and the pascal can be defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [6]

    Before 1918, many professionals and scientists using the metric system of units defined the standard reference conditions of temperature and pressure for expressing gas volumes as being 15 °C (288.15 K; 59.00 °F) and 101.325 kPa (1.00 atm; 760 Torr).
