The new tables of "Derived units" are not very useful, since UCUM is not a system of measurement. A more useful thing would be tables showing how units in commonly used systems of measurement are represented in terms of the UCUM base units. Nobody cares about milliwatts per steradian square metre or millinewton seconds.--Srleffler (talk) 23:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You know how I came up all these. I was fascinated with the list of derived units at [1], and I thought that the UCUM would do everything that the SI does. That page actually contains a link to the UCUM site
Yes, and I think that's just the problem. These derived units are not part of UCUM itself; the first sentence of that webpage makes it clear that this is an idiosyncratic effort to define a coherent system of units for UCUM's basis set. Nobody is using this system. What we really need is examples of how common units are encoded in UCUM and how they are represented in UCUM's basis. --Srleffler (talk) 03:52, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
