Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateConversionList	When implemented in derived classes, causes the Unit to assemble its list of conversion factors to other units.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Unit. (Overrides ObjectEquals(Object))
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Gets the String representation of this Unit. (Overrides ObjectToString)

Remarks

Measurable objects are generally immutable structures. Thus, the properties of measurable objects expose property get methods only. The exceptions—Accuracy and Precision—do not change the underlying value of the measurement, only its behavior; therefore these members may be changed as needed after the measurement is instantiated.
