    This document defines common scientific quantities, their symbols, units of measurement, and unit symbols. It lists quantities such as length, mass, time, temperature, and others. For each it provides the symbol used to represent the quantity, the standard unit of measurement, and the symbol used for that unit. Derived quantities such as area, volume, density, speed, acceleration, force, work, energy, pressure, and power are also defined in terms of more fundamental quantities, units, and symbols.
