Arbitrary units

UCUM recognizes units that are defined by a particular measurement procedure, and which cannot be related to the base units. These units are identified as "arbitrary units". Arbitrary units are not commensurable with any other unit; measurements in arbitrary units cannot be compared with or converted into measurements in any other units. Many of the recognized arbitrary units are used in biochemistry and medicine.
