SI units and the Celsius scale for temperature should be used, if necessary follow commonly used units can be used: For time - minute (min), hour (h); for volume - cubic decimeter (dm³); For mass - ton (t); for angle measures - degree (^o), minute ('), second (''). The negative power should be indicated where necessary, e.g. [cm² s^-1]. Use a space between the numeral and the unit of measure, except with degree, percent, and Svedberg (5^oC, 5%, 5S).
