gramgm (gram): The abbreviation gm stands for gram, a unit of measurement of weight and mass in the metric system. In weight, a gram is equal to a thousandth of a kilogram. In mass, a gram is equal to a thousandth of a liter (one cubic centimeter) of water at 4 degrees centigrade.
: hundred. : one hundredth part of something. centi- prefix.

tenDeka- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning “ten.” It is primarily used in the names of metric units to indicate that the measure is ten times the size of the unit denoted by the base word.
To measure larger than kilograms, we use tonnes. 1 tonne = 1000 kg. To measure weights smaller than 1 gram, we can use milligrams (mg) and micrograms (µg).
The hectometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, SI symbol: hm) or hectometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundred metres.
A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, American spelling dekameter or decameter,), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International (metric) System of Units equal to ten metres.
a combining form meaning “thousand” (millipede): in the metric system, used in the names of units equal to one thousandth of the given base unit (millimeter).

mmmm. This is a linear unit of measurement within the metric system. Mil still means thousand, but in this case a millimeter is one thousandth of a meter.

Giga (/ˈɡɪɡə/ or /ˈdʒɪɡə/) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of a short-scale billion or long-scale milliard (109 or 1000000000). Standards organizations discourage this and use giga- to refer to 109 in this context too.
PICO stands for patient/population, intervention, comparison and outcomes.
nmThe abbreviation for nanometer is "nm." For visual examples of the size of the nanoscale, see The Size of Nano.

Decimeter is too wide to be used over centimeter and too small to be used over foot.
A mile is longer than a kilometer. To find out which is longer, a kilometer or a mile, let's convert each one to feet.
Micrometer A micrometer (also called a micron) is 1000 times smaller than a millimeter. 1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometers (μm). 4. … 1 micrometer (μm) = 1000 nanometers.

In the SI, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth.
one thousandtha combining form meaning “thousand” (millipede): in the metric system, used in the names of units equal to one thousandth of the given base unit (millimeter).
mlThe ml stands for milliliter. The abbreviation ml is typically pronounced M-L (saying the letters out loud) or milliliter.
mL is international standard. It was accepted to use a capital letter if the unit is represented by some proper name like Joule. So, the right unit is 'ml', not 'mL'.
There is only one abbreviation for the word milliliter: ml.

A nanometer (nm) is a metric unit of spatial measurement that is one billionth (1×10-9) of a meter. The ability to monitor corrosion on a nanometer scale is a powerful tool for a fundamental understanding of surface chemical processes.

ten centimetresThe decimetre (SI symbol dm) or decimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a metre (the International System of Units base unit of length), ten centimetres or 3.937 inches.
A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, American spelling dekameter or decameter,), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-, "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International (metric) System of Units equal to ten metres.
A centimeter is 100 times smaller than one meter (so 1 meter = 100 centimeters).
1000 litresAll customers within the Essential Water area have their water use measured by a meter that measures usage in kilolitres (1 Kilolitre = 1000 litres). Charges for the amount of water consumed are based on the number of units of one whole kilolitre (1kL) you use during a quarterly billing period.

In SQL Server, NULL value indicates an unavailable or unassigned value. The value NULL does not equal zero (0), nor does it equal a space (' '). Because the NULL value cannot be equal or unequal to any value, you cannot perform any comparison on this value by using operators such as '=' or '<>'.
